World Stroke Day: Understand early signs and symptoms

 


FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — Medical experts around the world say that every 40 seconds someone experiences a stroke.

Local doctors are making sure you understand the early signs and symptoms this World Stroke Day.

Community Regional Health Centers, along with several other partners including American Ambulance and SkyLife, came together to educate the community about stroke on World Stroke Day.

CRMC Supervisor Joyce Eden said every minute counts when someone has a stroke, and the medical center wants to ensure the best possible care for the patient. .

“As of October of last year, we were certified by the Joint Commission to provide comprehensive stroke care at our facility here downtown, and in January of this year, we achieved primary stroke certification at our Clovis facility.” said Eden.

Eden said the purpose of Tuesday's event is to alert people to the signs of a medical emergency.

The hospital uses the acronym “BE FAST.”

Eden says the proverb is used to remind people to be aware of their balance, eyes, face, arms, and to be aware of slurred speech. In that case, it is important to seek medical attention in a timely manner.

Organizers say medical visits, a healthy diet and regular exercise can help prevent stroke.

Estella Bailey says she didn't notice the symptoms until it was too late.

“I thought I was going to sleep and the next thing I knew, I was found in the hospital,” Bailey said.

Bailey spoke at community events and shared her story with attendees.

She says her son found her when she had a stroke in July. It was a long road to recovery and her family, especially her daughter Helen, were very supportive during this difficult time.

“I don't know if I would have been able to get through everything without her. I owe her my whole life,” Bailey said.
