Examples

  • A transient ischemic attack, often called a TIA, is sometimes called a "mini-stroke" because the symptoms are similar to those of a stroke, but they are temporary.
  • Common symptoms of TIA may include numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg; sudden confusion or trouble speaking or understanding speech; trouble seeing in one or both eyes.
  • For the TIA, the doctor may give certain medicines to prevent future attacks.
  • The symptoms of TIA start suddenly and usually last only a few minutes to a few hours and do not cause permanent damage.
  • Sometimes a TIA is called a warning sign of a future stroke, because having had a TIA, a person is at a higher risk of having a full-blown stroke.
