How Are Strokes Diagnosed?

Written By Sara Graham

Today we're going to be answering the question, “How are strokes diagnosed?” The warning symptoms of a stroke are described by the acronym BE FAST. These symptoms include:  changes in balance, changes in your eyes or vision, facial drooping, arm weakness, and difficulty with speech. If you or a loved one notice any of these symptoms, it's time to call 911 and immediately go to the hospital. 

At the hospital, doctors will perform imaging of your brain to make a diagnosis and to determine the type of stroke and the area of your brain impacted. These images help to plan the immediate medical treatment of a stroke.

Remember, time is brain, and if you notice any of the symptoms of BE FAST, it's time to take action and get immediate medical treatment. If you have any questions about strokes or stroke recovery, please check out our website at stepsforrecovery.com or watch more videos here on our site.  Thanks, and have a great day.
