[gotcha] Relying solely on FAST \(Face, Arms, Speech, Time\) to identify stroke symptoms

Include 'sudden severe headache with no known cause' \(thunderclap headache\) as a primary stroke red flag requiring immediate emergency care, alongside FAST.

Journey Context:
FAST is widely known, but subarachnoid hemorrhages \(a type of stroke\) often present exclusively as a sudden, worst-ever headache without facial drooping or arm weakness. Agents trained only on FAST might dismiss a severe headache as a migraine, missing a critical, rapidly fatal stroke variant.
