Don't wait to see if symptoms stop, for every minute counts. Once you get to the hospital, your emergency team will review your symptoms and complete a physical exam.

Stroke - Diagnosis and treatment - Mayo Clinic
The brain cells are affected very quickly after a stroke occurs. In the most common type of stroke, called an ischemic stroke, or cerebral infarction, there's a lack of blood flow to an area of the brain leading the brain cells to begin to die off due to a lack of oxygen and other nutrients.
