Hi,

CVA is another name for stroke. And, most likely you mean left side of the body AND NOT THE FACE. This is most likely stroke and there are very few other things it can be and those act a lot like a stroke.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
