Mini-Strokes Often Go Unnoticed: 9 Symptoms You Should Never Ignore

You cannot reliably tell at home whether the episode was a TIA, a completed stroke, or another neurological condition.

Medical evaluation may include:

* A neurological examination
* Blood tests
* CT or MRI imaging
* Imaging of blood vessels
* Heart-rhythm testing
* Evaluation for atrial fibrillation
* Blood pressure and cardiovascular assessment

The American Stroke Association recommends comprehensive evaluation as soon as possible, ideally within 24 hours of symptom onset.
