2. Weakness

Weakness to one side of the body, often on the opposite side of the brain affected by stroke, is called hemiparesis. Movement is still possible and observable but with an obvious decrease in muscle strength. When person, who previously has normal motor function, notices a difference in the way he moves, take it as a warning that something might be wrong and that a stroke could happen any moment, especially if that person has the risk factors commonly associated with stroke.
