Overview

Who it may help
- People with sudden face drooping, arm weakness or speech difficulty
- People with sudden vision loss, dizziness or severe headache

Treatment options
Treatment may include clot-dissolving medicine (thrombolysis), clot removal (thrombectomy), management of bleeding strokes, care in a stroke unit and early rehabilitation.
