22/latino/male/6ft tall/190pnds i'm having hand and arm cramps constantly ,minor weak ness nothing major , can it be sighs of stroke ?

No stroke.: Probably no need to worry about a stroke. The signs are unilateral weakness not bilateral. If the cramping and or weakness persists or worsens please seek physician consult to rule out other medical problems. The number 1 cause of cramping is dehydration so try increasing your fluid intake with water or sports drinks like Gatorade, G2 or something similar. Good luck.
