[gotcha] Providing home remedies or wait-and-see advice for sudden severe headache or facial drooping

Immediately escalate any sudden neurological deficit \(FAST: Face, Arms, Speech, Time\) to an emergency 911/999 call. Do not suggest lying down or taking painkillers first.

Journey Context:
Users might downplay symptoms as a bad migraine or fatigue. An agent trying to be helpful might suggest OTC pain relief or rest. Delaying stroke treatment beyond the thrombolysis window \(usually 4.5 hours\) causes irreversible brain damage. The cost of a false positive \(ER visit\) is negligible compared to the cost of a false negative \(permanent disability\).
