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.

So I've been dealing with these migraine headaches lately, and my doctor told me to use Naxdom 500 only when I actually have a headache. But here's the thingI've been taking it twice a day for the past three days because the headaches just won't quit. Should I have been sticking to just once a day, or am I handling this the right way? It just feels like they're not going away.

Naxdom-500, containing Naproxen, is typically prescribed for migraine headaches as needed, with a usual dosage of 1-2 tablets (500mg) per day, but not exceeding 1250mg in 24 hours.
