A transient ischemic attack or minor stroke is a

stroke that lasts a short time. TIA does not cause
permanent brain damage. However, this condition is a
warning that the sufferer is at risk of having a more
severe stroke in the future.
 Symptoms of a Transient Ischemic Attack
(TIA)
The symptoms of a TIA or minor stroke are almost the same as those of a stroke. The
difference is, a minor stroke only lasts a few minutes and symptoms will go away on their own in
a matter of hours.
The best way to look for signs of a stroke is with the FAST test. This test includes several
indicators, namely:
. Face, one side of the face drops and makes it difficult for the sufferer to smile and move the
eyelids
. Arms, weak or paralyzed arms
. Speech, slurred or unclear speech
. Time, immediately contact a medical officer so that treatment can be carried out immediately.

In addition to observing the patient's condition with the FAST method, minor strokes
can also be recognized from several other symptoms, such as:
. Nausea and vomiting
. Severe headache or tingling head.
. Difficult to swallow
. Impaired vision in one or both eyes
. Difficult to understand the other person's words
. Loss of balance and body coordination

Treatment
➢ Drug therapy
Drug therapy is done to reduce the risk of stroke after the
patient has had a minor stroke. The types of drugs given are:
• Antiplatelet drugs
• Antihypertensive drugs
• Statin drugs

➢ Operation
The surgical procedure is performed if there is severe
narrowing of the arteries in the neck (carotid). Through this surgery,
the doctor will remove and clean the plaque that causes the arteries
to narrow. This procedure is known as an endarterectomy
(endarterectomy).
