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 starting to feel concerned about my health because I've been experiencing a heavy tongue and slurred speech sometimes. I've already checked for any kind of stroke, and thankfully, that came back negative. I've been feeling quite distraught and restless occasionally. I used to be diagnosed with sleep apnea, but I've been using a CPAP machine, and my sleep has improved quite a lot since then. Despite that, I sometimes notice muscle weakness in my thighs and calves, and I also have lower back pain. An MRI showed that I have a bulging disc that's pressing on my nerves. I'm really perplexed about the heavy tongue and would love some insights on why that might be happening.

I've been noticing this strange warm sensation in my lower leg lately. It pops up for about a minute then just disappears on its own. There's no pain or swelling, just feels like heat is leaving that area. Occasionally, I'll feel it in my back or shoulder too, but it's pretty rare. Could this be linked to having had Covid a couple of months ago? I had my d-dimer checked back then and it was normal. What might be going on with these sensations?
The intermittent, brief, and painless warm sensations in your lower leg, back, or shoulder could be due to various benign causes, such as vasospasm (temporary blood vessel constriction), nerve sensitivity, or muscle relaxation, and while it's reassuring that your D-dimer levels were normal after COVID-19, it's still possible that you may be experiencing post-COVID-19 symptoms, such as autonomic nervous system dysfunction or peripheral neuropathy, so consulting a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions and determine the best course of action is recommended.
