General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

It is a transient ischemic attack that is caused by a blocked artery, but the symptoms clear up completely, usually in under an hour.

Most TIAs last only five or ten minutes long. Because they are brief and not painful.

However, a TIA may precede a stroke by days or weeks and represent a warning sign.

He should undergo a comprehensive evaluation quickly because sometimes an underlying problem is discovered which can be treated, averting a stroke.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Blerina Pasho, General & Family Physician
