Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sudden onset of numbness or weakness on one side of the body, along with confusion, slurred speech, or a severe headache are all symptoms of a stroke. A heart attack typically presents with chest pain or discomfort. Severe indigestion may also cause discomfort in the chest and upper abdomen, but would not cause numbness or weakness on one side of the body. An aneurysm may cause sudden and severe headaches, but would not necessarily result in numbness or weakness on one side of the body.
