If a person suffers from a paralysis attack n his left body is affected wil his heart stop working?if no den y

Answer 1

Not usually... because it isn't anything on the left side of your body that tells your heart to beat. You have various brain functions that are handly in various parts of the brain. Your "core reactions" like breathing and heart beating takes place in the brain stem. Paralysis that is caused in another part of the brain won't affect the stem. However, it is possible but it all depends on where the 'affected' part of the brain is.

Answer 2

A stroke on the right side of the brain would cause paralysis of the left side of the body- but not necessarily cause the heart to stop. Cardiac rate is controlled in the brain stem, which is not usually affected by a stroke. Cardiac function itself is primarily controlled within the wiring of the heart itself. If you had a stroke that affected the brain stem, then you could and would likely die from it. Luckily that is a rare occurence. Although a stroke does affect the vascular system, it doesn't necessarily involve the heart or mean there are cardiac related problems. People who have strokes may have high blood pressure, and that may affect the heart. The stroke itself is due to either bleeding into the brain, blockage of blood vessels within the brain, or aneurysms creating pressure against brain tissue. The heart continues to work even as the stroke occurs, and afterwards it is not uncommon to find nothing wrong with the heart at all.

Answer 3

Paralysis involves damage to the motor control areas of the brain only. That can include speech, for example, but it's still motor control. These functions are in the upper brain, or cerebrum.

Autonomic functions, such as the heartbeat, are controlled by an entirely different part of the brain, the vain stem. It's a part of the base of the brain.

Answer 4

I don't see the point why some people just keep adding the same answer without any sort of explanation, is it really worth the two points? It is of course the left arm but why? it's called refered pain and it can be described as one that is perceived in another area, while the origin of the pain is at another. The reasons are not completely understood but arise when the nervous system or the neuron messenger system gets confused while sending the message of pain to the brain. The internal visceral neuronal network connecting the internal organs is complex machinery that is not well defined as the somatic nervous system.
