Transient Ischemic Attack

A Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) is often called a "mini-stroke." It happens when blood flow to the brain is briefly interrupted, leading to temporary neurological symptoms like weakness, speech problems, or vision changes. Unlike a full stroke, these symptoms usually resolve within 24 hours. A TIA is a warning sign that a person may be at risk for a more serious stroke in the future. It's crucial to seek medical attention right away, as TIAs can help identify and treat underlying risks to prevent a full stroke.
