Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain.
This type of brain injury is different from a typical stroke. In reality, when the blockage in an artery disappears on its own and does not cause any lasting effects, it is called a transient ischemic attack. Regarding the symptoms, they should be similar to those of a stroke and should only last a short time before disappearing completely. These things make it hard to recognize transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), which can sometimes be confused with just feeling unwell. However, since there is still a risk of stroke, it is important to stay alert and dial 15 if this happens.
