Not long ago a friend, and another friends daughter had some of these symptoms, so I wanted to share this health blurb from Intervent.: Ischemic strokes are similar to heart attacks, only they are “brain attacks.” About 10% of all ischemic strokes are preceded by a TIA (transient ischemic attack or “mini-stroke”) and about 36% of people who have had one or more TIAs will eventually have an ischemic stroke. A TIA usually lasts for more than two minutes but less than 15 minutes. The symptoms are the same as for a full-fledged ischemic stroke. Symptoms of Ischemic Stroke · Paralysis, sudden weakness, clumsiness or loss of sensation in an arm, leg or the side of the face · Rapid onset of blurred or decreased vision, especially in one eye · Loss of speech or difficulty in speaking or in understanding what others are saying · Loss of balance, dizziness, unsteadiness or difficulty in swallowing If you or someone else experiences any of the symptoms, get emergency medical treatment fast. Prompt action saves lives and helps limit the damage to the brain.
