What is a pre stroke?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

My brother has swelling in his head due to a blood clot in his brain. One doctor recommended surgery to control the swelling, but another said medication would be enough. Right now, he seems physically fine but is very weak internally and has lost a lot of his memory he can't name simple objects like a fan or spoon and doesn't even remember the difference between singular and plural. The doctors say it's a case of forgetfulness. How long will his recovery take, and will he ever regain his memory like before?
Recovery time after a brain blood clot can be variable, ranging from months to even longer. While some individuals regain most of their memory and cognitive function, the extent of recovery depends on the location, size, and duration of the clot, as well as the individual's overall health and response to treatment. The memory loss your brother is experiencing, which may be described as forgetfulness, could be a symptom of temporary brain damage or a sign of ongoing brain function recovery
