A: A stroke is a medical emergency, but new treatments may help if received right away. Call 911 or your local emergency number if someone suddenly has trouble speaking or understanding or seems confused; has numbness or weakness of the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body; can’t see out of one or both eyes; has a severe headache for no reason; or has difficulty walking, feels dizzy, or loses coordination or balance.
