What are the signs and symptoms of stroke?

A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted or reduced, leading to brain cell damage. Signs and symptoms of a stroke include sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body; confusion or difficulty speaking or understanding speech; sudden vision problems; sudden dizziness or loss of balance; and a severe headache with no known cause. It is important to seek prompt medical attention if any of these symptoms occur as early treatment can reduce the severity of the stroke and prevent further damage.
