There’s no such thing as a “mini” emergency when it comes to your brain. 🧠

A “mini-stroke,” also known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA), may cause symptoms that go away quickly, but it’s often a serious warning sign of a future stroke.

Why both are emergencies:
• A TIA can happen minutes or hours before a major stroke
• Up to 1 in 5 people who have a TIA will have a stroke within 90 days
• Quick treatment = better outcomes and can prevent permanent damage

⚠️ If you or someone you know experiences any symptoms of stroke, including face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty, vision problems, sudden confusion, or dizziness or loss of balance with no known cause, call 911, even if the symptoms have passed.
