Hello and thank you for posting your medical question on E health forum.

A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or severely reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and food. Within minutes, brain cells begin to die.

Your symptoms appear to be due to occlusion of branches of the carotid artery, the main artery supplying the brain.

The exact site affected can be determined only by additional imaging studies like doppler sonography of the carotid artery and a CT scan.

You might consult a neurologist for further treatment and proper advice.

I hope this helps.
