One neurological disorder that can occur is a cerebral vascular accident (CVA) or commonly known as a stroke. A stroke can occur at any age, but the risk increases over the age of 65. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), early action is key. Here are some signs and symptoms to look for if you or someone you know is experiencing a stroke:
1. F-Face-Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
2. A-Arms-Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
3. S-Speech-Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?
4. T-Time- If you see any of these signs, call 911 right away.
