Many people who experience a transient ischemic attack will go on to have a stroke within 90 days. Here are the red flags.
Warning strokes can last for less than a minute but require immediate medical attention., with nearly 800,000 people experiencing one every year. On average, a stroke occurs every 40 seconds in the country.
And among the people who have strokes, many also experience what is known as a warning stroke in the days, weeks or months beforehand.Warning strokes are known medically as transient ischemic attacks. In other words, transient ischemic attacks come on quickly, last for a short time and do not result in the type of brain damage that can be seen with full-fledged strokes.
But it’s important to take these symptoms seriously, no matter their brevity. And while there is no hard-and-fast rule for exactly how long they might persist, there are general guidelines. Willey added that once you’re there, you should escalate your situation and let the medical staff know that you think you may have had a stroke. In other words, don’t beat around the bush or discount your symptoms. A warning stroke is an emergency and should be treated as such. Communicating with nurses and doctors effectively will let them know you need to be treated quickly.
