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 recommend taking Tab Pregabalin 75mg once daily at night for relief. Additionally, you can apply Volini gel locally on the affected area for symptomatic relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a neurologist for further evaluation and management.
