A professional dancer from Co Down who has worked with Strictly Come Dancing professionals Vincent Simone and Kevin Clifton has urged the public to learn the FAST stroke symptoms after she suffered a stroke
in October 2020.
“I felt a sharp pain in my head and went to feel very dizzy. I felt something wasn’t right and went to look in the mirror where I could see my face had fallen on the right hand side. Victoria and Nadine did not know what a stroke was and had no idea about the FAST test. Sheila recognised all three of the most common symptoms of a stroke as a family member had TIAs previously.
Victoria had an operation in October 2020 to fix the hole in her heart that caused the stroke. She did have possible TIA’s post her stroke and before the operation but because of the FAST test she always went to the hospital straight away to get checked out. Every year, almost 5,000 people in Northern Ireland have a stroke and it is one of the leading causes of death and disability.
