10 Blood Clot in Brain Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #8: Weakness and Numbness
Weakness and numbness are both symptoms that are nonspecific and common. It can be caused by various conditions or illnesses. Weakness can be divided into true or perceived weakness. A blood clot in the brain causes true weakness where the skeletal muscle is affected. Numbness or paresthesia is an unpleasant sensation where there is a chilling, burning, prickling, or tingling sensation without any apparent physical cause.
Individuals with a blood clot in the brain may experience weakness and numbness in parts of their body as the blood clot causes decreased oxygenation to parts of the brain, resulting in brain tissue damage or death.
