12 Signs & Symptoms of Stroke

Loss of Sensation of Touch

When you have a stroke attack, one of those things you feel is numbness. The numbness could affect one part of your face, arm or body. The way you react to cold or heat before the stroke attack is altered, and the numb part will be left with this dead feeling as if that part of the body has ceased to exist. You will not even be able to feel a prick with a needle or any sharp object. This is because of the damage to the brain. This damage has caused the neurons specialized in conducting nerve impulses and sending signals to be inactive. [3]
