What is Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)?
A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is often called a “mini stroke”. The symptoms of a TIA are similar to a stroke, but they don't last as long (from minutes up to 24 hours). TIA occurs when part of the brain's blood supply is temporarily cut off by a blood clot or fatty deposits in the blood vessel. There is no death of brain cells or permanent brain damage. TIA is a sign that there is a high risk for strokes in the future.
Typical Symptoms of Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
- Weakness or paralysis on one side of your body
- Smile is not symmetrical
- Difficulty speaking, performing tasks, or recognizing things
- Difficulty seeing on one side
- Unable to speak, although I understand what people are saying
- Dizziness
- Partial loss of vision
- Difficulty speaking clearly
Diagnostic Questions for Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you have weakness or paralysis on one side of your body?
- Is it hard to raise one corner of your mouth when you smile?
- Have you been experiencing difficulty speaking, performing tasks, or recognizing things?
- Are you currently experiencing vision loss in one eye?
- Can you understand others but struggle to express yourself clearly?
Treatment of Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
Emergency treatment in the hospital is required for TIAs. One or more medications may be prescribed to thin the blood and control blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Surgery may be needed in more severe cases.
