Guest guest Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 Wanted to let you all know.. here's what webmd says about TIA's or mini strokes. TIAs are often called mini strokes because the symptoms are like those of a stroke. Within minutes, brain cells are affected, causing symptoms in the parts of the body controlled by those cells. TIAs may affect vision, speech, behavior, and thought processes and may cause loss of consciousness, seizure, dizziness (vertigo),and weakness or numbness on one side of the body. However, unlike a stroke, a TIA does not cause lasting symptoms. Symptoms usually go away after 10 to 20 minutes, but they may last up to 24 hours. Anyhow, I wanted to let you all know that while this proabably isn't the case with me, it's something we all should be aware of! With our heart rates, and our stress, and you name it. It must not be very common or we would have heard more about it, but still something to keep in mind. I will let you all know if I find anything more out about it, anything int Subjct: GENERAL-Vertigo, TIA dilemma X-Mailer: VM 7.04 under 21.4 (patch 8) " Honest Recruiter " XEmacs Lucid FCC: /home/valkyrie/mail/saved-messages --text follows this line-- Wanted to let you all know.. here's what webmd says about TIA's or mini strokes.
