BE FAST stands for:
B: Sudden loss of balance or unsteady walking.
E: Double vision or loss of vision.
F: The face becomes droopy on one side compared to the other.
A: Arm drops when trying to lift it, or the patient is unable to move the arm.
S: Speech becomes slurred and speaking is unintelligible or gibberish.
T: Time to call 911. People are seen and treated more quickly when they arrive by ambulance. Ambulances can notify the hospital ahead of time that they are coming in with a stroke patient. For every minute lost, it is almost 2 billion neurons that you lose, or 2 billion brain cells.

BE FAST代表：
B: 突然失去平衡或行走不稳。
E: 复视或视力丧失。
F: 与另一侧相比，面部的一侧显得下垂。
A: 在试图抬起手臂时，手臂会垂下，或者患者无法移动手臂。
S: 语言变得含糊不清，说话难以理解或像胡言乱语。
T: 现在是拨打911的时候了。当患者被救护车接来时，其得到诊治的速度会更快。救护车可以提前通知医院，告知他们即将接来一位中风患者。每耽搁一分钟，就几乎相当于损失了20亿个神经元，或者说20亿个脑细胞。
需要强调的是，如果有人出现这些症状，且这些症状仅持续了几分钟，这可能预示着更大的中风即将发生。人们仍应尽快前往医院。
