Signs of Stroke: FAST (Face, Arm, Speech, Time to call 911)

Stroke can happen at any age, even in infants. In fact, one-third of strokes happen to people under age 65. Many of the risk factors for stroke can be changed. Smoking, obesity, heavy drinking, high blood pressure — all can play a role, as can conditions such as heart disease. In this segment, Dr. Nicole Chiota-McCollum discusses why it is important for you to know the signs of a possible stroke, learn your risk factors and identify what you need to do if you suspect you or a loved one is having a stroke.
