how paralysis attack occurs - #15490

Vanya

I am really confused and worried about something that happened to my brother last week. He was perfectly fine, just sitting in his living room, when all of a sudden his left side just went completely numb. He couldn't move his arm or leg at all! I rushed him to the hospital and they said it was a paralysis attack, but no one really explained how paralysis attack occurs. They ran some tests, and thankfully it wasn’t a stroke, but they just sent him home and said to follow up with a neurologist. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how paralysis attack occurs. Like, does it happen without any warning? Is it something that builds up over time, or can it just hit you out of nowhere? Are there any warning signs? I mean, he was feeling a bit tired the days before, but I thought he was just stressed from work. I read online that certain health conditions can lead to paralysis, but he has no history of anything like that. How paralysis attack occurs is just so baffling to me, and I can’t help but wonder if we missed any symptoms. Do you think we should be looking for anything specific when we follow up with the doctor? How paralysis attack occurs is still on my mind since I just want to make sure he will be okay.
