10 Signs of a Stroke
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Stroke Sign #8: Weakness
Because the brain controls the muscle, the muscles are likely to be affected should the brain be damaged. This can lead to a sensation of weakness, as though you are barely able to move and even standing is a considerable effort. Should these symptoms arise suddenly, then there is a good chance that the person has just had a stroke.
If you are with somebody that has just experienced a sudden loss of strength then you should take it very seriously. It could be a symptom of various causes, including a stroke, and should be treated as a medical emergency. Physiotherapy will often help the victim to regain their strength partly, if not completely, as they recover.
