Stroke Warning Signs After 40: Don’t Sleep It Off BE FAST Explained!

Описание: If you wake up in the middle of the night with a heavy arm, a crooked smile, or words that suddenly sound thick or tangled, do NOT “sleep it off.”
After 40, these sudden changes can be early signs of a stroke — and waiting until morning is one of the most dangerous decisions people make.

In this video, we break down the real stroke warning signs using B-E-F-A-S-T, why doctors say “time is brain,” how stroke risk rises quietly after age 40, and the harmful myths that cause delays in getting emergency care.

You’ll learn:
✔ What’s actually happening inside the brain during a stroke
✔ How to spot BE FAST even when you’re scared or half-asleep
✔ Why people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s cannot ignore sudden symptoms
✔ What a TIA (mini-stroke) really is and why it’s a red flag
✔ The exact steps to take the moment symptoms begin
✔ How to identify your own stroke risk factors
✔ How to talk to your doctor about stroke prevention clearly and calmly
