Explanation:

A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted. One common symptom is numbness or weakness on one side of the body, as brain damage from stroke can affect motor and sensory functions on the opposite side. A heart attack typically involves chest pain, shortness of breath, etc. High blood pressure often has no symptoms or non - specific ones. Arteriosclerosis is a condition of artery hardening and doesn't usually present with one - sided body numbness as a primary symptom.
