Ministroke and Stroke: What Should We Do for TIA Recovery?

What is a ministroke or TIA?
The term “ministroke” is refers to a temporary blood flow irruption to part of
the brain. Another name for this occurrence is a transient ischemic attack, or
TIA. A ministroke or TIA should be considered a warning sign for a major stroke.
Around 1 in 3 people who experience a ministroke experience a stroke within a
year.


What’s the difference between ministroke and major stroke?
The symptoms of TIA are temporary, lasting only a few minutes to 24 hours.
Symptoms can be so mild they go unnoticed. Unlike a major stroke, TIAs do not
usually result in significant physical or functional impairment.


FAST: Recognize early warning signs of a stroke
FAST is an abbreviation to recognize stroke symptoms early for prompt medical
intervention. This acronym is relevant to both ministrokes and major strokes.




What are the symptoms of a ministroke?

 * sudden numbness or weakness on the right or left side of the face, arm, or
   leg
 * trouble speaking or understanding

 * loss of balance or coordination


What should I do if I have symptoms of a ministroke?
If you have any of these symptoms, call 911 or go to the hospital immediately-
do not wait. A ministroke and major stroke can present the same way. At the
hospital, a medical team will do a stroke workup to determine the cause of your
symptoms and whether additional intervention is needed.
