Hello, I’m Dr. Kunal Bahrani, Senior Consultant & Director of Neurology at Marengo Asia Hospital, Faridabad. Today, I want to talk to you about a crucial topic: Mini Stroke, also known as a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA). A TIA is a temporary period of symptoms similar to those of a stroke. It happens when the blood supply to part of the brain is briefly interrupted. 🌐
The causes of TIA include blood clots, narrowed blood vessels, or other conditions that reduce blood flow to the brain. Common symptoms include sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, vision problems, and dizziness or loss of balance. It’s essential to seek immediate medical attention even if the symptoms resolve quickly, as a TIA is often a warning sign of a future stroke. 🚨
Treatment for TIA focuses on preventing a full-blown stroke. This may involve lifestyle changes, medications to prevent blood clots, controlling high blood pressure, and managing other risk factors like diabetes and high cholesterol. In some cases, surgical procedures might be recommended to improve blood flow to the brain. 🏥
