⏱️ A Stroke Strikes Every 5 Minutes ⏱️

Every year, strokes affect 100,000 people in the UK, causing 38,000 deaths and leaving many with lasting disabilities. Recognizing the signs and acting FAST can save lives:

👉 Face – One side drooping or hard to smile?
👉 Arms – Can they raise both arms?
👉 Speech – Are words slurred or hard to understand?
👉 Time – Call 999 immediately.

Strokes may not seem severe at first, but even subtle signs like weakness, confusion, or dizziness could be an emergency. Every second counts for lifesaving care and reducing long-term effects.

Learn the signs, know your risk, and take steps to protect yourself. 🌟
