    COMMITTEE COMMENTARY:

    This year our congregation has been impacted by stroke. Stroke can cause devastating effects. It is a leading global cause of death and serious long-term disability. Each year, over 11.9 million people worldwide experience a new stroke, and approximately 795,000 Americans suffer a stroke. Tragically, it is estimated that 1 in 4 adults over age 25 will have a stroke in their lifetime. In the US every 40 seconds someone has a stroke and someone dies from one every three minutes and 14 seconds. 87% of strokes are ischemic, that is caused by a blocked blood vessel while the remaining are caused by bleeding on the brain. Nearly 1 in 4 survivors will have a recurrent stroke. Strokes remain the number one cause of long-term disability. Identifying the early signs of a stroke and getting rapid intervention can mitigate the effects. One of the ways to identify a stroke is using the acronym BEFAST.

    The B.E.F.A.S.T. Warning Signs

    • B – Balance: Sudden loss of balance, coordination, or difficulty walking.
    • E – Eyes: Sudden changes in vision, such as blurriness, double vision, or loss of sight in one or both eyes.
    • F – Face Drooping: One side of the face droops or is numb. Try asking the person to smile to see if it is uneven.
    • A – Arm Weakness: Sudden weakness or numbness in an arm or leg, often on only one side of the body. Test this by asking the person to raise both arms; if one drifts downward, it is a warning sign.
    • S – Speech Difficulty: Slurred speech, trouble speaking, or difficulty understanding simple sentences.
    • T – Time: Time is critical. If you or someone else experiences any of these symptoms, call 911 immediately. Do NOT attempt to drive your loved one or yourself to the hospital.

    Other Sudden Symptoms to Watch For

    While B.E.F.A.S.T. covers the most common indicators, other sudden signs of a stroke include:

    • A severe, sudden headache with no known cause (often described as the “worst headache of your life”).
    • Unexplained confusion or sudden behavioral changes.
    • Dizziness, nausea, or vomiting, especially when paired with a severe headache.
    • Sudden fainting or experiencing a seizure.

    For more information, visit the American Stroke Association or the CDC.
