Feeling weakness in arm. Could it be a sign of stroke?
Answered by
Thank you for posting your query.
The most likely cause of transient weakness of arms could be a mini-stroke, also called TIA (transient ischemic attack).
It requires evaluation, as many people may have a recurrence of these symptoms, and some can even develop stroke.
Risk factors should be identified and treated (such as Aspirin tablets are helpful in preventing the recurrence of weakness.
An evaluation by a Neurologist is required.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you have any more queries.
Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
