When a stroke occurs, quick action could mean the difference between life and death, consciousness and a long-term coma, mobility and permanent paralysis. Because the blood clot or hemorrhage that caused the stroke reduces blood flow to the brain, receiving prompt treatment is necessary to reduce permanent brain damage. The sooner the person suffering a stroke can get to the hospital (ideally within 90 minutes of the onset), the sooner he or she will have access to treatments that can prevent or reduce disability.

But one of the biggest obstacles to stroke sufferers receiving emergency treatment is the fact that many people are not aware of stroke symptoms and are unable to identify when a stroke is occurring.

Could you recognize if you or someone around you was having a stroke? Take this quiz and find out.
