Transient Ischemic Attack

A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a temporary interruption of blood flow to the brain, often caused by a clot, which dissipates after a short time. It's like a warning sign for a stroke and can cause symptoms such as numbness, trouble seeing, difficulty walking, confusion, or loss of balance. Although the symptoms usually go away within an hour, it's crucial to seek immediate medical attention as it could indicate a higher risk for a more serious stroke in the future.
