Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) - Symptoms Share A TIA is a warning: It means you are likely to have a stroke in the future. If you think you are having a TIA, call 911. Early treatment can help prevent a stroke. If you think you had a TIA but your symptoms went away, you still need to call your doctor right away. Symptoms of transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) occur suddenly and are always temporary. They usually go away in 10 to 20 minutes. TIA symptoms are just like stroke symptoms. They vary depending on which part of the brain is affected. Common symptoms of TIA may include: Sudden numbness, tingling, weakness, or loss of movement in your face, arm, or leg, especially on only one side of your body. Sudden vision changes. Sudden trouble speaking. Sudden confusion or trouble understanding simple statements. Sudden problems with walking or balance. A sudden, severe headache that is different from past headaches. If symptoms last longer than an hour, it might be more likely that you have had a stroke. This related to the attacks I have been having lately , and the neck sonogram I was given last week. My doctor didnt tell me that he thinks that I may have Carotid Artery Disease or Carotid Stenosis. I guess he didnt want to scare me. I believe its ib the early stages because the symptoms just started a few weeks ago. I have been eating right mostly, and exercising. I think that including Gods help is what is keeping me alive. Pray very hard that I can beat this! I will be trying very hatd to fight it with everything I have! Fighting for my daughter.
