A mini stroke, medically known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA), occurs when there is a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain, leading to stroke-like symptoms that typically resolve within 24 hours. Unlike a full-blown stroke, a mini stroke does not cause permanent damage but serves as a warning sign for a potential future stroke. Common symptoms include sudden weakness, numbness, difficulty speaking, and vision problems. Immediate medical attention is essential, as a mini stroke increases the risk of a more serious stroke later on.
