FAST covers the most common signs, but some strokes present with visual loss, sudden severe dizziness, imbalance or other neurological deficits without facial or arm weakness. If you are seriously concerned about sudden neurological symptoms, it is safer to call 999 and describe what you see than to rely solely on a negative FAST test.
