Do not continue your day as normal.
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.
