HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

TIA (transient ischemic attack) are temporary neurological symptoms due to short term reduction in blood supply to a focal area of the brain.They are what persons may call mini strokes.

The symptoms may vary but normally are: temporary loss of vision, temporary weakness on a specific side of the body, numbness, paralysis, tingling.

Your symptoms are not likely related to this. Headaches have different possible causes, the most common are migraines, sinus headache, tension headache.

If the headaches continue, you should visit your doctor for an evaluation to determine the cause.

I hope this helps
