How the body is affected by a stroke depends on how much brain tissue has been damaged and where that damage occurs. 1  A stroke is sudden and its effects are felt immediately. 2  Stroke causes some brain tissue to die. 3  A stroke can be anywhere in the brain and can be very small or very big.
Stroke symptoms often don't include any pain or discomfort, and are more likely associated with losing feeling or the ability to move. Much of the time, strokes affect only one side of the body. Heart attack is pretty self explanatory, but stroke is a puzzling term.
