What Is A TIA?
A transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or "mini stroke" is caused by a temporary disruption in the blood supply to part of the brain. The disruption in blood supply results in a lack of oxygen to the brain. This can cause sudden symptoms similar to a stroke, such as speech and visual disturbance, and numbness or weakness in the face, arms and legs.
But a TIA does not last as long as a stroke. The effects last a few minutes to a few hours and fully resolve within 24 hours.
Symptoms Of TIA
The main symptoms of a TIA can be remembered with the word FAST:
Face – the face may have dropped on 1 side, the person may not be able to smile, or their mouth or eye may have dropped.
Arms – the person may not be able to lift both arms and keep them raised because of weakness or numbness in 1 arm.
Speech – their speech may be slurred or garbled, or the person may not be able to talk at all, despite appearing to be awake; they may also have problems understanding what you're saying to them.
Time – it's time to call 999 immediately if you see any of these signs or symptoms.
In the early stages of a TIA, it's not possible to tell whether you're having a TIA or a full stroke.
A TIA is a warning sign that you may be at risk of having a full stroke in the near future, and an assessment can help doctors determine the best way to reduce the chances of that happening.
Causes Of A TIA
During a TIA, 1 of the blood vessels that supply your brain with oxygen-rich blood becomes blocked. This blockage is usually caused by a blood clot that's formed elsewhere in your body and travelled to the blood vessels supplying the brain, although it can also be caused by pieces of fatty material or air bubbles.
Certain things can increase your chances of having a TIA, including:
Smoking
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Obesity
High cholesterol levels
Regularly drinking an excessive amount of alcohol
A type of irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation
Having diabetes
People over 55 years of age and people of Asian, African or Caribbean descent are also at a higher risk of having a TIA.
Preventing A TIA
A TIA is often a sign that another one may follow and you're at a high risk of having a full, life-threatening stroke in the near future. Regardless of whether you have had a TIA or stroke in the past, there are several ways you can lower your risk of having either in the future.
These include:
Maintaining a healthy weight
Eating a healthy, balanced diet
Regular exercise
Limiting alcohol consumption
Not smoking
