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've been nursing a bump on the back of my head for a few days now, after slipping in the bathroom and hitting a tiled wall. I've noticed the swelling is almost gone, but the area still hurts when I touch it. Should I be concerned about a potential internal injury or is it pretty normal for this kind of thing?
