Most strokes don’t come out of nowhere. The body often begs for help first. Strange dizziness. A “weird” headache. Sudden exhaustion you blame on stress.

Men tend to show the classic signs—one-sided weakness, facial drooping, slurred speech—while women may feel nausea, shortness

If you ever see FAST—Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call—do not wait.
Call emergency services. Listening to these whispers from your body could be the difference between recovery and a life rewritten in an instant.
