• #1 Transient ischemic attack (TIA) – Symptoms and causes – Mayo Clinic

  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/transient-ischemic-attack/symptoms-causes/syc-20355679

  A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a short period of symptoms similar to those of a stroke. It’s caused by a brief blockage of blood flow to the brain. A TIA usually lasts only a few minutes and doesn’t cause long-term damage. […] The symptoms of a TIA are similar to those found early in a stroke. Symptoms happen suddenly and may include: Weakness, numbness or paralysis in the face, arm or leg, typically on one side of the body. Slurred speech or trouble understanding others. Blindness in one or both eyes or double vision. Dizziness or loss of balance or coordination. […] You may have more than one TIA. Their symptoms may be similar or different depending on which area of the brain is involved. […] If you think you’re having or have had a transient ischemic attack, get medical attention right away. TIAs most often occur hours or days before a stroke. Being evaluated quickly means healthcare professionals can pinpoint potential treatable conditions. Treating those conditions may help you prevent a stroke.

• #2 TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack): Symptoms & Treatment

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/14173-transient-ischemic-attack-tia-or-mini-stroke

  Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are often incorrectly called mini-strokes, but theyre every bit as serious as a true stroke. […] A transient ischemic attack is like a temporary stroke. It means theres a temporary (transient) lack of blood flow to part of your brain. Without blood flow, the brain cells malfunction and start to die (ischemia). […] The symptoms of the two are the same, but TIA symptoms go away within 24 hours (most go away in minutes). […] A transient ischemic attack is a medical emergency just like a stroke is. […] Seek immediate medical help if you have signs of stroke, including balance issues, vision changes, face and arm drooping, and speech difficulties. […] The possible symptoms of a TIA are nearly identical to the possible symptoms of a stroke. […] The symptoms of an ischemic stroke can involve one or more of the following: One-sided weakness or paralysis (hemiplegia). Difficulty with or loss of speaking ability (aphasia). Slurred or garbled speaking (dysarthria). Loss of muscle control on one side of your face or facial droop. Sudden loss either partial or total of one or more senses (vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch). Blurred or double vision (diplopia). Loss of coordination or clumsiness (ataxia). Dizziness or vertigo. Nausea and vomiting. Neck stiffness. Emotional instability and personality changes. Confusion or agitation. Memory loss (amnesia). Headaches (usually sudden and severe). Passing out or fainting.

• #2 TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack): Symptoms & Treatment

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/14173-transient-ischemic-attack-tia-or-mini-stroke

  The main reason that a TIA is a medical emergency is because its often a warning that a stroke is possible or even imminent. Up to 20% of people who have a TIA have a stroke within 90 days, and half of those strokes happen within the first two days after a TIA. […] By definition, TIAs last less than 24 hours. But its rare for a TIA to last even that long. Most TIAs last for only minutes. […] The outlook for a TIA depends strongly on whats causing it and what you do about it. Without treatment, your stroke risk within the next 90 days especially the first two days after the TIA can be very high. […] The outlook is best when you get immediate emergency medical care.

• #3 Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) | American Stroke Association

  https://www.stroke.org/en/about-stroke/types-of-stroke/tia-transient-ischemic-attack

  A transient ischemic attack, or TIA, is a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain. The clot usually dissolves on its own or gets dislodged, and the symptoms usually last less than five minutes. […] While a TIA doesn’t cause permanent damage, it’s a “warning stroke” signaling a possible full-blown stroke ahead. […] Common warning signals include sudden onset of: Weakness, numbness or paralysis on one side of your body, Slurred speech or difficulty understanding others, Blindness in one or both eyes, Dizziness, Severe headache with no apparent cause. […] TIAs’ temporary symptoms, which can last from only a few minutes up to 24 hours, make diagnosis challenging. […] Get help immediately if you think you could be having a TIA. […] The immediate consequences of TIA are fairly benign. But these “warning strokes” often foreshadow a full-blown stroke.

• #3 Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) | American Stroke Association

  https://www.stroke.org/en/about-stroke/types-of-stroke/tia-transient-ischemic-attack

  Nearly 1 in 5 people who have a suspected TIA will have a stroke within 90 days, and 2 in 5, when given the appropriate scan, will learn that they actually had a stroke instead of a TIA. […] TIA symptoms can mimic other neurological symptoms, so it’s best to get a detailed evaluation by a health care professional.

  A transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or „mini stroke” is caused by a temporary disruption in the blood supply to part of 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. […] 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.

  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. […] Although the symptoms of a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) resolve in a few minutes or hours, you’ll need treatment to help prevent another TIA or a full stroke happening in the future.

  https://www.ninds.nih.gov/health-information/disorders/transient-ischemic-attack-tia

  A transient ischemic attack (TIA), often referred to as a mini-stroke, is a stroke that lasts only a few minutes. It happens when the blood supply to part of the brain is briefly blocked. […] TIA symptoms are similar to those of stroke. Most symptoms of a TIA happen suddenly and usually go away within an hour, although they may last for up to 24 hours. Symptoms can include: Numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body; Trouble seeing in one or both eyes, or double vision; Problems with walking, dizziness; Confusion; Difficulty talking or understanding speech; Loss of balance and coordination. […] It’s important that people having stroke symptoms be evaluated by a medical professional as soon as possible, ideally within an hour of symptoms starting. Quick evaluation from a doctor can help identify the cause of the TIA or stroke and how to treat it.

• #5 Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) | National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke

  https://www.ninds.nih.gov/health-information/disorders/transient-ischemic-attack-tia

  A TIA itself will not require treatment. The blockage breaks up and dissolves on its own. But, a TIA can be a warning sign that a stroke may be next. Strokes are very serious. It is important that people who have had a TIA see a doctor, develop a treatment plan for any chronic conditions or other issues, and take steps to reduce their risk of stroke. […] Sometimes, a person who has had a TIA may take medicine to prevent blood clots (blood thinners or anticoagulants). If the arteries in the person’s neck were blocked, it’s possible they will need surgery to clear or open the arteries.

• #6 Transient ischemic attack: MedlinePlus Medical EncyclopediaLock

  https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000730.htm

  A transient ischemic attack (TIA) occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain stops for a brief time. A person will have stroke-like symptoms for up to 24 hours. In most cases, the symptoms last for 1 to 2 hours. […] A transient ischemic attack is a warning sign that a true stroke may happen in the future (often near future) if something is not done to prevent it. […] Symptoms begin suddenly, last a short time (from a few minutes to 1 to 2 hours), and go away. They may occur again at a later time. […] The symptoms of a TIA are the same as the symptoms of a stroke, and include: Change in alertness (including sleepiness or unconsciousness), Changes in the senses (such as hearing, vision, taste, and touch), Mental changes (such as confusion, memory loss, difficulty writing or reading, trouble speaking or understanding others), Muscle problems (such as weakness, trouble swallowing, trouble walking), Dizziness or loss of balance and coordination, Lack of control over the bladder or bowels, Sensation problems (such as numbness or tingling on one side of the body).

  https://www.stroke.org/en/help-and-support/resource-library/lets-talk-about-stroke/transient-ischemic-attack

  A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is often called a mini-stroke, but it’s really a warning stroke. TIA and stroke symptoms are the same, although most TIA symptoms last only a few minutes (but up to 24 hours). While TIAs generally do not cause permanent brain damage, they are major warnings and should not be ignored. […] The symptoms of a TIA are the same as a stroke and often include sudden onset of any of the following: Weakness, numbness or paralysis of the face, arm or leg, usually on one side of the body. Trouble speaking or difficulty understanding others. Loss of vision in one or both eyes or double vision. Loss of balance or coordination. Severe headache with no known cause.

• #9 Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) | Cedars-Sinai

  https://www.cedars-sinai.org/health-library/diseases-and-conditions/t/transient-ischemic-attack-tia.html

  A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a brief episode during which parts of the brain do not receive enough blood. Because the blood supply is restored quickly, brain tissue does not die as it does in a stroke. These attacks are often early warning signs of a stroke, however. […] A TIA starts suddenly, like ischemic strokes. The difference is that TIAs last only 2 to 30 minutes. […] Symptoms may include: Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body; Sudden confusion; Sudden trouble speaking; Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes; Sudden trouble walking; Sudden dizziness, loss of balance or coordination; Sudden, severe headache with no known cause. […] TIAs are sometimes called warning strokes and tend to happen multiple times. In many cases, TIAs are followed by strokes, usually within a year of the first attack.

• #10 Patient education: Transient ischemic attack (Beyond the Basics) – UpToDate

  https://www.uptodate.com/contents/transient-ischemic-attack-beyond-the-basics

  Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is the medical term for neurologic symptoms that signal dysfunction of the brain, such as weakness or numbness, which begin suddenly and resolve rapidly and completely. The symptoms are often caused by ischemia, which is a temporary lack of blood flow (and thus oxygen) in part of the brain; however, in a small number of cases, these symptoms can be related to a small bleeding event in the brain. […] A TIA is an episode in which a person has signs or symptoms of a stroke (eg, numbness, weakness on one side of the body, trouble with speech or language, loss of vision) that last for a short time. Symptoms of a TIA usually last between a few minutes and a few hours. A person may have one or many TIAs. People recover completely from the symptoms of a TIA. […] Transient ischemic attack symptoms — Symptoms of TIA are typically short-lived, lasting only a few minutes to hours. A TIA may occur only once, or may be recurrent (several times per day or per year).

[…] Importantly, patients with symptoms that last more than one hour are more likely to have permanent neurologic damage, making prompt diagnosis and treatment important to maximize recovery.

• #14 Transient ischemic attack – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_ischemic_attack

  A transient ischemic attack (TIA), commonly known as a mini-stroke, is a temporary (transient) stroke with noticeable symptoms that end within 24 hours. A TIA causes the same symptoms associated with a stroke, such as weakness or numbness on one side of the body, sudden dimming or loss of vision, difficulty speaking or understanding language or slurred speech. […] The occurrence of a TIA is a risk factor for having a major stroke, and many people with TIA have a major stroke within 48 hours of the TIA. […] Signs and symptoms of TIA are widely variable and can mimic other neurologic conditions, making the clinical context and physical exam crucial in ruling in or out the diagnosis. The most common presenting symptoms of TIA are focal neurologic deficits, which can include, but are not limited to: Amaurosis fugax (painless, temporary loss of vision), one-sided facial droop, one-sided motor weakness, diplopia (double vision), problems with balance and spatial orientation or dizziness, visual field deficits, such as homonymous hemianopsia or monocular blindness, sensory deficits in one or more limbs and of the face, loss of ability to understand or express speech (aphasia), difficulty with articulation of speech (dysarthria), unsteady gait, difficulties with swallowing (dysphagia).

  A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is focal brain ischemia that causes sudden, transient neurologic deficits and is not accompanied by permanent brain infarction (eg, negative results on diffusion-weighted MRI). […] TIA is similar to ischemic stroke except that symptoms usually last 1 hour; most TIAs last 5 minutes. Infarction is very unlikely if deficits resolve within 1 hour. […] TIAs are most common among middle-aged and older people. TIAs markedly increase risk of stroke, beginning in the first 24 hours. […] Neurologic deficits are similar to those of strokes. Transient monocular blindness (amaurosis fugax), which usually lasts 5 minutes, may occur when the ophthalmic artery is affected. […] Symptoms of TIAs begin suddenly, usually last 2 to 30 minutes, then resolve completely. Patients may have several TIAs daily or only 2 or 3 over several years. Symptoms are usually similar in successive carotid attacks but vary somewhat in successive vertebrobasilar attacks. […] A focal neurologic deficit that resolves within 1 hour is almost always a transient ischemic attack.

  About 50% of patients who subsequently have a stroke due to blockage of a blood vessel have a small warning episode termed a transient ischaemic attack (TIA). […] In 75% of TIAs the symptoms clear within one hour, often within only a few minutes, because the blockage in the artery clears itself very quickly. 30% of people have damage evident on sensitive brain imaging techniques such as MRI after a TIA. […] TIAs are significant and must not be ignored. Advice must be sought immediately. A TIA may be the start of a stroke that can follow the TIA within hours. […] FLEETING BLINDNESS OR BLURRING OF VISION In one or both eyes, lasting for a few seconds or minutes only, like a curtain descending or ascending from above or below, very occasionally crossing from one side to the other.

[…] A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a medical emergency. It is defined as a transient episode of neurologic dysfunction due to the focal brain, spinal cord, or retinal ischemia without acute infarction or tissue injury. The definition of a TIA has moved from time-based to tissue-based. A TIA typically lasts less than an hour, more often minutes. TIA can be considered a serious warning of an impending ischemic stroke; the risk is highest in the first 48 hours following a transient ischemic attack. […] Evaluation of TIA should be done urgently with imaging and laboratory studies to decrease the risk of subsequent strokes. The subsequent risk of TIA or ischemic stroke can be stratified with a simple clinical measure. Immediate multimodality therapeutic interventions should be initiated. These will include aggressive treatment of blood pressure, high-dose statin, antiplatelet therapy, blood sugar control, diet, and exercises. Specific underlying etiology needs to be managed accordingly. This treatment scheme may substantially reduce the risk of recurrent strokes or future TIA by at least 80%.

  TIA symptoms have often resolved by the time the patient presents to her doctor or emergency department. The history of present illness should include onset, duration, timing, complete neurological symptoms, associated symptoms, and any aggravating or relieving factors. […] Physical examination should focus on identifying focal neurological deficits and speech disturbances, which are the most common presenting symptoms in patients with TIA. […] The main aim of treatment of TIA is to decrease the risk of subsequent stroke or TIA. Early treatment after a TIA can significantly reduce the risk of early stroke. Post TIA, the risk of stroke within 3 months has been reported to be around 20%, with approximately 50% of these strokes occurring within the first 2 days after the initial presentation. Evaluating the vessel status and looking for atrial fibrillation when a patient comes with TIA is extremely important. This will significantly reduce future strokes. Management of TIAs should focus on treating underlying etiologies.

  A transient ischaemic attack (TIA) causes symptoms similar to a stroke. Some people call a TIA a mini-stroke. With a TIA, the symptoms go completely within 24 hours (whilst with a stroke, the symptoms are usually more permanent). The most common cause is a tiny blood clot in a blood vessel in the brain. […] The symptoms are the same as those of a stroke but, unlike a stroke, the symptoms are short-lived and soon go away completely. This means that you recover fully, back to normal. […] Symptoms of a TIA are temporary. They develop suddenly and usually peak in less than a minute. The duration of symptoms varies; however, symptoms usually go within an hour (typically within 2-15 minutes). Sometimes symptoms last up to 24 hours.

  A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is an ischemic stroke in which the blood flow is restored quickly and the symptoms typically disappear within 1 to 2 hours. […] TIAs are more common among older people, and often go undiagnosed if the symptoms are not recognized. […] The symptoms of a TIA vary depending on which arteries are obstructed. The most common location of blockage is in the carotid artery system. […] A blockage in the left carotid artery, for example, could cause temporary blindness in the left eye or paralysis of the right side of the face and the right arm and leg, or a loss of speech (inability to speak normally or understand speech). […] Another common location of blockages is the vertebrobasilar system. […] The symptoms of TIA are identical to the symptoms of stroke, for the very good reason that a TIA is a short-lived stroke.

  Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) describe a transient episode of neurological dysfunction caused by focal brain, spinal cord, or retinal ischemia, without acute infarction. […] It is well established nowadays that in most transient ischemic attacks, symptoms resolve in less than one hour but occasionally prolonged episodes may occur. […] The clinical features are variable and dependent on the mechanism: low-flow transient ischemic attack: classic transient focal neurological symptoms, either anterior or posterior circulation symptoms, last only minutes, and are often recurrent; embolic transient ischemic attack: similar presentation to a thromboembolic ischemic stroke, localized to a specific arterial territory rather than a general circulation, tend to last hours, and do not tend to be recurrent; lacunar or small penetrating vessel transient ischemic attack: also known as the capsular warning syndrome, these are similar to low-flow transient ischemic attacks but the transient and recurrent neurological symptoms are those of lacunar stroke syndromes. […] Management is complex, but in short, revolves around determining the etiology of the transient ischemic attack, risk stratification, and then medical (e.g. aspirin, statin) and/or surgical therapy (e.g. carotid endarterectomy) where appropriate.

  https://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/dont-be-fooled-by-tia-symptoms

  TIA (andquot;mini stroke”) symptoms can come in many forms, and are often brushed aside. Your leg crumples under you as you walk down the sidewalk. „That trick knee of mine is acting up again,” you think. Or you’re suddenly overcome by a dizzy spell. You skipped lunch today, so low blood sugar is your excuse. While both of these explanations are entirely plausible, you may be missing the signs of a transient ischemic attack (TIA) if you jump to conclusions too quickly. […] Stroke and TIA symptoms can vary widely depending on the part of the brain that is affected. To further complicate matters, other neurological disruptions such as migraines, minor seizures, and low blood sugar can mimic TIA symptoms. The distinguishing feature is that a TIA or stroke stems from decreased blood flow located in one particular blood vessel in the brain. Therefore, the effects are most likely to be localized to a specific brain function, such as speech or vision, or to cause isolated weakness in one limb or side of the body (see the box below for warning signs). In contrast, conditions that mimic a TIA tend to create multiple or more widespread neurological effects, including fainting and generalized tingling in the arms and legs. […] Another red flag for a likely TIA is the presence of other cardiovascular risk factors. Typically, people who have TIAs have a history of heart problems. They also tend to be middle-aged or older; to have diabetes, high blood pressure, and abnormal cholesterol; to smoke; and to get little exercise.

  https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2012/0915/p521.html

  Transient ischemic attack is defined as transient neurologic symptoms without evidence of acute infarction. Common symptoms are sudden and transient, and include unilateral paresis, speech disturbance, and monocular blindness. […] Transient ischemic attacks are more likely with sudden onset, focal neurologic deficit, or speech disturbance. […] Symptoms of TIA occur suddenly and include a neurologic deficit or loss of function. […] Unilateral weakness and speech disturbance are the most common presenting symptoms in patients with TIA, and these symptoms are more likely to be associated with acute cerebral infarction on MRI. […] In an analysis of persons with TIA, 31 to 54 percent presented with focal weakness, 25 to 42 percent presented with speech changes, 16 to 32 percent had symptoms lasting one hour or less, and 37 to 72 percent had symptoms lasting more than one hour.

  TIAs occur when a blood clot blocks blood flow and prevents oxygen from reaching the brain cells for a short while. When the clot breaks up or moves on, the symptoms tend to resolve. These events do not last long enough to cause permanent damage to brain cells. […] The American Stroke Association urge people not to ignore a TIA, as it can be a warning sign for a major stroke. […] The symptoms of a TIA will depend on which part of the brain is not receiving adequate blood flow. […] TIA symptoms are temporary. They can last for a few minutes to a few hours, and they usually disappear completely after 24 hours. […] However, it is essential to seek medical help at once if anyone has symptoms that may indicate a TIA because a major stroke may follow. […] The same factors that lead to the temporary insufficiency of blood flow in a TIA can cause a stroke due to longer lasting blood flow reduction, which can lead to permanent brain damage. […] Symptoms of a TIA include weakness and numbness on one side of the body, drooping on one side of the face, and difficulty speaking. If anyone experiences these symptoms, someone should call 911 immediately.

  A transient ischemic attack (TIA), or ministroke, results from a temporary stoppage in the blood supply to the brain. TIAs usually only last 5 minutes but can be a sign of a major stroke to follow. It is a medical emergency. […] Many people do not seek help for a TIA because the symptoms pass quickly. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) note that more than one-third of people who do not receive treatment for a TIA have a major stroke within a year. […] Additional statistics suggest that 20% of those who have a TIA have a stroke within 3 months, and half of these will happen within 2 days of the TIA. […] Knowing the symptoms of a TIA and getting help quickly may help prevent a more severe and possibly life threatening event. […] A TIA causes similar symptoms to those of a stroke, but it is temporary. The reduced blood supply usually only lasts for a few seconds, and the symptoms tend to last for minutes. Rarely, they can last for up to a few hours.

  A blood clot is the most common cause of a TIA. Blood clots can be the result of hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), heart attack, or abnormal heart rhythms. Brain cells are affected within seconds of the blockage. That causes symptoms in the parts of the body controlled by those cells. After the clot dissolves, blood flow returns, and the symptoms go away. […] Sometimes a TIA is caused by a sharp drop in blood pressure that reduces blood flow to the brain. This is called a „low-flow” TIA. It is not as common as other types. […] After you have had a TIA, you are at risk for having another TIA or a stroke. But you can make some important lifestyle changes that can reduce your risk of stroke and improve your overall health.

[…] A TIA is a temporary blockage of blood flow to part of the brain, the spinal cord or the thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye known as the retina. This blockage may cause brief strokelike symptoms. But a TIA doesn’t cause permanent damage to brain cells or the brain. […] Symptoms of TIA usually last only a few minutes. But they may last for up to 24 hours. No matter how long symptoms last, a TIA is often an early warning sign that a person is at risk of stroke. About 1 in 3 people who have TIAs goes on to have a stroke. The risk of stroke is especially high within 48 hours of a TIA. […] The symptoms of a TIA are similar to those of a stroke and include: Numbness or muscle weakness, usually on one side of the body. Trouble speaking or understanding speech. Dizziness or loss of balance. Double vision or trouble seeing in one or both eyes.

  A transient ischaemic attack (TIA) is a medical emergency due to the high risk that stroke will occur within the next 48 hours. True TIA symptoms should resolve within one hour. […] A transient ischaemic attack (TIA) is traditionally defined as a group of stroke symptoms which resolve within a 24 hour period. However, in practice, symptoms that last longer than one hour are likely to indicate a stroke. The risk of stroke is greatest in the first 48 hours following a TIA and some studies report the risk to be as high as 10% in the week following. A TIA is therefore a medical emergency. […] If a TIA is rapidly diagnosed and appropriate interventions initiated, the risk of subsequent stroke can be significantly reduced. […] Due to the high risk of stroke following a TIA, it is important that all people with a suspected TIA receive urgent treatment and referral for secondary care assessment.

[…] A diagnosis of TIA is more likely if the history includes: Sudden and discernible onset of symptoms, Neurological deficits maximal at onset, Loss of function, Rapid recovery (usually 30 60 minutes). […] Typically, symptoms of TIA are negative and involve loss of localised neurological function (e.g. loss of sensation, vision or power). […] Administer aspirin, statin and antihypertensive treatment immediately after symptoms have resolved unless contraindicated. […] Following TIA the risk of stroke is dangerously elevated.

The effects last a few minutes to a few hours and stop within 24 hours. […] In the early stages of a TIA, it’s not possible to tell if someone is having a TIA or a full stroke. A TIA is only diagnosed when the symptoms have disappeared. If they do not disappear then it is a stroke. […] The main symptoms of a TIA can be remembered with the word FAST: Face their face may have dropped on 1 side, the person may not be able to smile, or their mouth or eye may appear dropped or droopy on one side. 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 112 or 999 immediately if you see any of these signs or symptoms.
