From sudden numbness in a limb to dizziness or confusion, recognising the symptoms quickly can be life-saving. To help give further insight, Dr Khoo Ching Soong, Consultant Internal Medicine Physician &amp; Neurologist at Columbia Asia Hospital Puchong shares what a stroke feels like and why fast action matters.<\/p><p>One practical way to remember the symptoms of an acute stroke is the acronym BEFAST:<\/p><p>B \u2013 Balance: Sudden loss of balance<br \/>E \u2013 Eyes: Vision loss or double vision<br \/>F \u2013 Face: Uneven or drooping smile<br \/>A \u2013 Arm: Weakness in one arm<br \/>S \u2013 Speech: Slurred or strange speec<br \/>T \u2013 Time: Call an ambulance immediately<br \/><br \/>Dr Khoo adds that confusion or dizziness can also appear at the start. These symptoms are easy to dismiss as fatigue or stress, but if they come on suddenly, it\u2019s crucial to take them seriously.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4b073c elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"c4b073c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 15-07-2024 *\/\n.elementor-column .elementor-spacer-inner{height:var(--spacer-size)}.e-con{--container-widget-width:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer{width:var(--container-widget-width,var(--spacer-size));--align-self:var(--container-widget-align-self,initial);--flex-shrink:0}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container{height:100%;width:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer{height:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer>.elementor-spacer-inner,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer>.elementor-spacer-inner{height:var(--container-widget-height,var(--spacer-size))}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty{position:relative;min-height:22px;min-width:22px}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty .elementor-widget-empty-icon,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty .elementor-widget-empty-icon{position:absolute;top:0;bottom:0;left:0;right:0;margin:auto;padding:0;width:22px;height:22px}<\/style>\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a33704 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5a33704\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"subtopic01\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 15-07-2024 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How a Stroke Feels<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ce6833 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2ce6833\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A common misconception is that strokes always cause headaches. In reality, most are painless, which makes them particularly dangerous.<\/p><p>Strokes almost always strike without warning. One moment you feel fine; the next, your speech falters, or one side of your face droops as blood flow to the brain is suddenly blocked. If left untreated, symptoms can escalate quickly, but seeking medical help immediately greatly improves the chances of recovery.<\/p><p>Numbness during a stroke can feel like tingling or a complete loss of sensation, often in one arm, leg, or on one side of the face \u2014 as if the limb no longer belongs to you.<\/p><p>Confusion can affect memory, thinking, and concentration, making it difficult to form words or remember recent actions. Dizziness, caused by issues in the hindbrain, often comes with nausea, poor balance, loss of coordination, and blurred vision.<\/p><p>While the symptoms are generally the same for younger and older adults, the causes can differ. In people in their 30s and 40s, lifestyle factors such as stress, smoking, poor diet, and lack of exercise are often key contributors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c18287d elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"c18287d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-818ad7d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"818ad7d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 15-07-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"836\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.columbiaasia.com\/malaysia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/health-article-stroke-feel-01.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-61657\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.columbiaasia.com\/malaysia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/health-article-stroke-feel-01.jpg 836w, https:\/\/www.columbiaasia.com\/malaysia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/health-article-stroke-feel-01-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.columbiaasia.com\/malaysia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/health-article-stroke-feel-01-768x367.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 836px) 100vw, 836px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d32ebc2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"d32ebc2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dbe7de5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"dbe7de5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"subtopic02\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Painless but Dangerous<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c57bfc8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c57bfc8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Because most strokes are painless, many people delay seeking help.
