Which arm goes numb if your having a stroke?

My father recently had a scare, and the doctor mentioned recognizing stroke symptoms early. Someone told me numbness in an arm is a sign, so I wanted to know which arm specifically to look out for.

Haan, stroke mein usually ek side ka body weak ho jaata hai ya numb. So, koi bhi arm ho sakta hai, left ya right, jo opposite side of the brain damage ho. But the main thing is it's sudden weakness, na? Fast medical attention is needed, bhai.

For me, when I had my stroke, it was my entire right side that went numb and weak, including my arm. It happened so suddenly. The key is to remember the 'FAST' signs – Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call emergency. Don't delay even a minute.

My grandmother used to say, 'listen to your body'. For a stroke, sudden numbness or weakness can affect any arm, usually on one side of the body. This is a medical emergency, so please don't wait for symptoms to worsen. Trust the doctors and get to a hospital immediately.
