[gotcha] What are the symptoms of a stroke to watch for?

Expand beyond FAST \(Face, Arms, Speech, Time\) to BE FAST \(Balance, Eyes\). Sudden loss of balance or vision changes indicate posterior circulation strokes, which FAST misses.

Journey Context:
Agents often hardcode 'FAST' as the definitive stroke heuristic. However, FAST only captures anterior circulation strokes. Posterior strokes \(affecting the brainstem/cerebellum\) present with vertigo, imbalance, and visual field cuts, but no facial droop or arm weakness. Missing these delays life-saving thrombectomy.
