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.

I'm experiencing these frequent pins and needles sensations in my left chest and it's been going on for a couple of months now. I've already had an ECG and an echo, and they didn't find anything wrong. Do you have any ideas on what might be causing this or how I can find some relief? It's starting to really bug me and I'm a bit worried.

I've noticed this strange numbness on the skin of my left kneecap in a small area about the size of a coin, and I can't remember injuring it recently. There's no pain, no issues with movement, and I'm not on any medication. I'm a bit puzzled about why it's happening. Could you shed some light on why the skin in that specific spot is numb?
