A mini stroke, medically known as a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), is often a quiet warning sign that should never be ignored. Unlike a major stroke, the symptoms of a TIA may last only a few minutes or hours and disappear completely. However, for elderly individuals, a mini stroke is frequently a precursor to a more severe stroke in the near future.
Recognizing both the common and subtle symptoms early can literally save a loved one’s life.
