Numbness or Weakness

Another sign of a stroke is if you suddenly feel numb, weak, or experience a tingling sensation, especially on just one side of your body. This happens when the flow of blood to a certain part of your brain is cut off, resulting in the death of that area’s brain cells. The symptoms of the damage will differ in each patient depending on which part of their brain suffered damage. For example, if the person had a stroke that affected the part of the brain responsible for motor function control, then the symptoms would be unilateral weakness or even paralysis.
