Prevention is your best defense — especially after a TIA.
Here’s what helps:
- Monitor and control blood pressure
- Take prescribed medications (aspirin, statins, etc.)
- Follow a heart-healthy diet
- Stay physically active
- Quit smoking and limit alcohol
- Get regular check-ups with a neurologist or primary care provider
Early action saves lives — don’t wait until it’s too late.
🧾 Final Thoughts
A mini stroke in the elderly can look very different from textbook stroke symptoms. Whether it’s a brief moment of confusion, sudden dizziness, or a fleeting headache — these signs should never be ignored.
Understanding both common and unusual symptoms can mean the difference between catching a warning sign and facing a life-changing stroke later.
