How to Get Rid of Transient Ischaemic Attack
TweetA suddenly occurring, brief period of insufficient blood supply to an area of the brain may cause a temporary sensory loss or weakness (paresis) on one or both sides. It's often caused by an embolus coming from the heart or a main artery carrying blood to the head; bur the blockage is too brief to result in a stroke. Other symptoms include visual problems, confusion, difficulty in speaking and imbalance. Imaging may be required to confirm the diagnosis and, along with other tests, to find out the cause of the attack. Note: An ischaemic attack should be seen as a warning sign that a stroke is possible. Consult without delay. The cause of an embolus -like high Bp, heart problems or diabetes - is treated. Long-term care also involves lifestyle changes like stopping smoking or alcoholism and regular exercise under the doctor's guidance. He may advise lot preventing measures like taking daily aspirin.
