Suspect a stroke? Check the time! Ischemic strokes – the most common type of stroke – are caused by a blood clot, which can be removed … if you know what time your symptoms began. Know the signs of a stroke and check the clock to ensure you get the right treatment and have the best chance at recovery. American Heart Association

While overall death rates from heart disease and stroke declined over the past two decades until a recent plateau, these gains were not equitably shared among people who are from the Black, Asian, American Indian/Alaska Native or Hispanic/Latino communities.

*Black Americans continue to experience the highest death rates due to heart disease and stroke.

*Black Americans experience a nearly 30% higher death rate from cardiovascular disease (CVD) and a 45% higher death rate from stroke compared with non-Hispanic white Americans.

*Black and Hispanic/Latino patients experience significantly lower survival to hospital discharge than white patients even when controlling for socioeconomic status.

🚨 THIS COULD SAVE A LIFE — READ THIS 🚨

A woman I know had a heart attack… and didn’t even realize it.

It started during a workout — just some tightness in her chest.
She pushed through it.

The next day — numbness.
She still brushed it off.

By Friday, she finally went to the doctor…
95% blockage.

Let that sink in.

💔 Women’s heart attack symptoms don’t always look dramatic.
They can be quiet. Subtle. Easy to ignore.

⚠️ Common signs in women:
• Chest tightness, pressure, or discomfort (not always severe pain)
• Shortness of breath
• Numbness or tingling (arms, back, jaw, or neck)
• Unusual fatigue (even without activity)
• Nausea or lightheadedness
• Pain in the upper back or shoulders

🚫 It doesn’t always feel like an “emergency” — until it is.

Too many women dismiss these signs as stress, anxiety, or just being tired.

Listen to your body. Don’t push through pain. Don’t wait.

❤️ If something feels off — go get checked. Immediately.

You are too important to ignore the warning signs.

*PSA*
As a certified CPR Instructor I believe I should make this announcement. If you’re a w**d smoker please have some Narcan (Naloxone) in your First Aid kit. People are lacing w**d with co***ne and fentanyl. You don’t have to have a prescription. You can get it at CVS, Walgreens and Walmart. ❤️ Real Talk!

Having Narcan on you is like having a fire extinguisher, you hope you never need it, but it can literally save a life in minutes.
