   Transient Ischemic Attack   
   Also called: Mini-stroke, TIA   
      
      
   A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a stroke that comes and goes quickly. It   
   happens when the blood supply to part of the brain stops briefly. Symptoms of   
   a TIA are like other stroke symptoms, but do not last as long. They happen   
   suddenly, and include   
      
   Numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body   
   Confusion or trouble speaking or understanding speech   
   Trouble seeing in one or both eyes   
   Loss of balance or coordination   
   Most symptoms of a TIA disappear within an hour, although they may last for up   
   to 24 hours. Because you cannot tell if these symptoms are from a TIA or a   
   stroke, you should get to the hospital quickly.   
      
   TIAs are often a warning sign for future strokes. Taking medicine, such as   
   blood thinners, may reduce your risk of a stroke. Your doctor might also   
   recommend surgery.
