Hugo is complaining of a headache, and he is asking questions that show that he is confused. He appears to be having difficulty speaking and complains that his left arm is heavy and hard to move. What is most likely causing Hugo’s symptoms?

A sudden headache with confusion, difficulty speaking, and weakness or heaviness in one arm can indicate a stroke. A stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is blocked or reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen. Therefore, lack of blood flow to the brain is the most likely cause.
