It causes paralysis in face, arm, or leg usually on one side of the body, slurred speech, double vision or blindness, and loss of balance or coordination) and atherosclerotic heart disease (condition where the arteries become narrowed and hardened due to buildup of plaque (fats) in the artery wall).
