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.

View allWhat's vestibular migraine exactly? I've been experiencing some weird symptoms like being really sensitive to sounds, feeling nauseous, and sometimes I get this sudden dizzy feeling that makes it hard to walk for more than 10 minutes. And then there's this numb sensation in my feet that comes with the giddiness. Should I be worried about these symptoms, and are there precautions I can take?
To stop taking the Fexofenadine + Montelukast combination tablet: *Gradual Tapering* 1. Consult a new doctor or an allergist for personalized guidance. 2. Gradually reduce the dosage over 1-2 weeks to minimize withdrawal symptoms. 3. Start by reducing the frequency (e.g., every other night) or the dosage (e.g., half the tablet). *Managing Withdrawal Symptoms* 1. For itching, try applying topical creams or taking oral antihistamines like diphenhydramine. 2. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for alternative solutions. *Follow-up* 1. Schedule a follow-up appointment with your new doctor to monitor your condition. 2. Discuss any concerns or changes in your symptoms. Remember, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional before stopping or adjusting any medication.

I've been feeling a bit lightheaded and dizzy in the evenings over the last couple of days, almost like my head is wrapped up in something. It reminds me of wearing a cap or helmet. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
