BE FAST stands for:

Balance: Sudden loss of balance or coordination. 

Eyes: Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes. 

Face drooping: One side of the face drooping or feeling numb. Ask the person to smile and see if the smile is uneven. 

Arm weakness: Sudden weakness or numbness in one arm. Ask the person to raise both arms and see if one drifts downward. 

Speech difficulty: Slurred speech or difficulty speaking. Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence to check. 

Time to call 911: If you notice any of these signs, even if they disappear, call 911 right away
