Sudden confusion or difficulty speaking: when it’s more than just fatigue

Although strokes often occur without warning, a 2020 study in The Journal of Headache and Pain found that about 15% of participants who suffered an ischemic stroke experienced a sentinel headache in the week before the event. These headaches can act as a subtle early indicator.

A Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), or “mini-stroke,” occurs when blood flow to the brain is temporarily blocked. TIAs cause stroke-like symptoms that usually last minutes to hours. They should never be ignored, as roughly one-third of TIA patients later experience a more serious stroke.

Recent research in JAMA Network shows that the rate of acute stroke within 90 days of a TIA has declined, suggesting that prompt medical intervention can reduce risk. These findings highlight the importance of early recognition and treatment.
