One Side of the Face Suddenly Droops
A drooping face is one of the most recognized stroke indicators, yet it remains easy to overlook in everyday situations. You might observe that one side of your mouth appears uneven, your smile seems lopsided, or one eyelid sits lower than the other. Because it can occur abruptly, others may notice it before you do. This type of facial weakness differs from a face that merely looks tired after a long day. Health authorities consistently identify sudden facial drooping or weakness as a major warning sign.
