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've been dealing with head spinning for years now, and it's really starting to worry me. I had an MRI scan about three years ago and have been on medications like Icosar Lipikind Plus and Vertizoc since then, but I still get these dizzy spells pretty often. Do you have any idea why this might be happening or what else I could do?

I've always struggled with vomiting whenever I'm traveling in a bus or car, ever since I was a kid. I noticed it doesn't happen when I'm riding a two-wheeler, auto rickshaw, or train, though. Currently, I use Avomin tablets to help me sleep so I don't vomit during these journeys. I'm really curious why this happens and if there's a better way to handle it. Is there something more I could do to manage this without relying on medication?
