A pre stroke is also known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA). It is nothing but a small stroke. It is experienced when blood supply to brain is stopped for a very short period. Its effects may be experienced for a few hours or for a few minutes. The symptoms usually subside within 24 hours. They begin rapidly, and they go away very soon.
The five warning signs of stroke are: Sudden onset of weakness or numbness on one side of the body. Sudden speech difficulty or confusion. Sudden difficulty seeing in one or both eyes. Sudden onset of dizziness, trouble walking or loss of balance. Sudden, severe headache with no known cause.
Stroke symptoms typically last more than 24 hours, and may or may not resolve, even with therapy. Some stroke symptoms may never resolve or get better. Symptoms can begin to resolve in about 1 to 5 minutes, which is typical, but some may take about 24 hours to resolve.
