3. What Are Typical Symptoms of Embolic Stroke?

Because a stroke causes brain damage, the symptoms can vary. Typically, individuals experience difficulty walking, speaking and/or understanding words. Some individuals experience numbness in either side of their face or in their limbs. In some cases an embolic stroke can cause temporary paralysis of limbs or face.

Other symptoms can include slurred speech, dizziness, lethargy, faint feelings and sleepiness. Any of these symptoms can occur without warning and in combination with others. They are categorized as muscular, cognitive and other symptoms. While some appear more extreme than others, it’s important in all cases to contact local emergency services immediately if you suspect that you or someone you know is experiencing a stroke.
