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 a 35-year-old IT professional, and I've been dealing with these persistent brain issues. It's like my brain just doesn't want to think clearly anymoreeverything feels so foggy, and I can't focus at all. My concentration and mental abilities seem to be getting worse, and on top of that, I keep forgetting simple things. Even writing documents at work is turning into a real challenge. It's really affecting my professional life. I'm wondering, what can I do to get rid of this brain fog? Should I see a psychiatrist, or is there some medication that might help? I'd love some guidance on this.
