Brain Attack: Stroke is like heart attack in that a brain blood vessel gets occluded and causes problems with vision, strength, sensation, balance. But you are likely describing angina pectoris, a sign of decreased blood flow to the heart, and this is a risk for myocardial infarction. Do not delay, he needs to see a physician urgently, as prevention here is worth tons of cure.
