7 Symptoms of Mini Stroke - Transient Ischemic Attack ( TIA ) Signs
Mini-strokes, also known as transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), are temporary disruptions of blood flow to the brain. Although they may last for only a few minutes, they can signify a heightened risk of a major stroke in the future.
During this video, we delve into the seven common symptoms associated with mini-strokes. Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, slurred speech or difficulty speaking, and vision problems such as sudden loss or blurriness are just a few warning signs to watch for. We also explore dizziness or loss of balance, confusion or memory problems, and severe headaches that may accompany mini-strokes. Facial drooping, similar to what is seen in major strokes, is another crucial symptom to recognize.
Understanding these symptoms is essential because recognizing them promptly allows for immediate medical attention, potentially preventing a major stroke and minimizing long-term damage.
Join us as we shed light on the intricacies of mini-strokes, helping you become better informed about their symptoms and the importance of taking swift action. Don’t underestimate the significance of these warning signs—watch our video now to ensure your well-being and that of your loved ones. Remember, knowledge is power when it comes to protecting yourself against the hidden risks of mini-strokes.

165.87 -> They may have difficulty walking or feel unsteady
on their feet.
170.45 -> 5.Confusion or memory problems
173.569 -> Cognitive symptoms can manifest during a mini-stroke,
