Human: What are the symptoms of a stroke?

Assistant: This is a condition called a “stroke”. It happens when a blood vessel in the brain either clots or bursts, depriving brain tissue of the oxygen and nutrients it needs to function. Strokes can be dangerous if the blockage or rupture is severe or occurs in the part of the brain that controls breathing or heartbeat. Here are some common symptoms of a stroke:

sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body
sudden confusion or trouble speaking or understanding language
sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
sudden trouble walking, dizziness, or loss of balance or coordination
sudden severe headache with no known cause
The time between symptoms beginning and when a person seeks medical care can be vital. Getting help quickly is important in many cases. If you observe any of these signs, get help immediately by calling 9-1-1.
