February is Heart Health Month - look for advice throughout the month intended to help you manage cardio-related health concerns.

Knowing the signs of stroke is crucial, as prompt treatment is necessary to help reduce the damage that can be caused by a "brain attack." Be aware of these classic stroke symptoms:

• Sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes
• Weakness or numbness on one side of the body, including the face
• Difficulty speaking
• Sudden disorientation, confusion or memory loss
• Dizziness, loss of balance or loss of coordination
• Severe headache that comes on suddenly with no apparent cause

The American Stroke Association suggests that anyone can identify a person having a stroke by checking for the signs of facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems. As a bystander, you can help to determine if someone is having a stroke by asking them to perform three simple actions:

• Ask the person to smile
• Ask the person to raise both arms above his or her head
• Ask the person to speak a simple sentence

If the person has any problems completing these steps, call 911 immediately and describe these symptoms.
