In many cases, your body gives a warning.
Not always weeks in advance — but often hours or days before, through a transient ischemic attack (TIA) — sometimes called a “mini-stroke.”
Unlike a full stroke, a TIA doesn’t cause permanent brain damage.
But it’s a huge red flag: People who experience a TIA are at dramatically increased risk of a major stroke within 48 hours to 90 days.

A stroke happens when blood flow to part of the brain is cut off, depriving brain cells of oxygen. Within minutes, neurons begin to die.
There are three main types:
Type
Cause
✅ Ischemic Stroke (87% of cases)
A clot blocks an artery in the brain — like a kinked garden hose
✅ Hemorrhagic Stroke
A blood vessel bursts, causing bleeding in the brain
✅ Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
A temporary blockage that resolves on its own — but still dangerous
🩺 Think of a TIA as a “warning shot” — not a scare tactic, but a chance to act.

S – Speech Difficulty
Slurred speech, confusion, or inability to speak clearly
T – Time to Call Emergency Services
