Are Chest Discomfort, Blurred Vision, Headaches And Arm Numbness Symptoms Of Stroke?

After weeks of breath shortness, upper chest discomfort, and episodes of severe breathing difficulties, and clear chest xrays, I now also have blurred vision, headaches and one arm numbness. Are these symptoms of stroke, and would a catscan help with blood clot diagnosis? Thank You. I am desperate for help.

Hello,

I can understand your concerns..
All the symptoms that you are mentioning strongly point towards stroke.. It is better you visit nearby clinic and get a CAT/CT scan of brain done without further delay.. If you are a Hypertensive patient do take your medication if forgotten. There might be blood clots circulating in your body which are causing all these symptoms.. priority should be to treat your stroke first and then try to identify the cause of Blood clots and treat the cause,

Hope I have answered your queries,
Feel free to ask any other questions.
