What Are The Symptoms Of A Stroke?
Hi, I'm trying to figure out if I suffered from a stroke last night, I had something like a panic attack, numbness in my left arm that made my head tilt to the left, dizziness, and feeling of hoplessness but no pain. And my heart felt like it was beating out of my chest. Its been about 18 hours since it began and I still have numbness on my left side and fingers and I'm feeling dizzy...

I read your query and I understand your concern.
Your symptoms could be in the setting of a stroke and I think you require medical attention. So I think you should present yourself to the emergency service in order to be evaluated for your clinical signs.
Afterwards the diagnosis would need to be confirmed with imaging tests like CT or ideally MRI as well as tests to search for the possible cause and start treatment to prevent your symptoms to progress.
I hope to have been of help.
