The signs of mini strokes are similar to full strokes, though the damage they do is not usually permanent. Immediate medical attention is still crucial, however, to prevent further strokes and longterm complications. Mini stroke symptoms can be slightly more subtle than major strokes. It is important to be hyper-aware of the signs in order to get medical attention required. The signs are as follows:
1. Weakness or Numbness
A sudden onset of weakness or numbness in the face, arms, or legs is one of the primary signs of mini stroke. This weakness or numbness often only affects one side of the body. It can last for a few minutes or up to 24 hours. The key here is that it is a symptom that seems to come on quite suddenly. One minute everything is fine, and the next the leg is weak and it is hard to walk, or it is challenging to lift the arm, etc.
2. Difficulty Understanding or Speaking
