What are the common warning signs of a stroke, and how can I spot them quickly?

Folks, I'm freaking out a bit here. Mom had a close call last week - turns out it was just a dizzy spell, but it got me thinking about strokes. I know they're common in older folks, but I realized I have no clue what to look for.

Hi, I completely understand your concern. A quick way to spot a stroke is to remember FAST: Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call emergency services immediately.
