F stands for face drooping; A for arm weakness; S for speech difficulty, all of which are major symptoms of stroke. T stands for time, which emphasizes the severity of the situation and indicates the need to immediately call 911. Sports cardiologist, Dr. John P. Higgins, MD, discusses the signs to help you recognize when a stroke is happening to you or a loved one.
