Symptoms of a transient ischemic attack

Many people think that their parents are stingy and were reluctant to give them pocket money when they were young, but in fact, everyone can pay attention to how their parents treat them. Because I worked so hard, I developed a lot of health problems. For example, transient ischemic attack is a typical one. At this time, the children have grown up and can understand that their parents were "stingy" just to give their children a better life.

It is important for families who have experienced a transient ischemic attack in their family to be aware of the common symptoms of people with this condition. However, we are not very clear about how to supplement nutrition, so the following is some specific introduction.

1. Transient ischemic attack of the internal carotid artery system

The most common symptoms of TIA of the internal carotid artery system are monoplegia, hemiplegia, hemisensory disturbance, aphasia, monocular visual impairment, etc. Homonymous hemianopsia may also occur.

Main manifestations: Sudden transient blackout, loss of vision, white flashes, visual field loss, or diplopia in one eye, which may last for a few minutes and then recover. Mild hemiparesis or hemisensory abnormalities in the contralateral limbs. Damage to the dominant hemisphere may cause transient aphasia, apraxia, alexia, or agraphia, or simultaneous weakness of the facial and tongue muscles. Occasionally there is homonymous hemianopsia. Among them, the sudden onset of transient amaurosis in one eye is a characteristic symptom of ischemia of the ophthalmic artery branch of the internal carotid artery. Transient psychiatric symptoms and disturbance of consciousness may occasionally be seen.

2. Transient ischemic attack of the vertebral-basilar artery system

The main manifestations of TIA of the vertebral-basilar artery system are ischemia of the brainstem, cerebellum, occipital lobe, temporal lobe and proximal spinal cord, and neurological deficit symptoms.

The main symptoms are: The most common symptoms are transient vertigo, nystagmus, and unsteady standing or walking. Transient double vision or visual field loss, etc. Transient difficulty swallowing, choking when drinking water, slurred speech or hoarseness. Transient weakness and paresthesia of one or both limbs. Transient hearing loss, crossed paralysis, hemiplegia and bilateral mild paralysis, etc. A few may have impaired consciousness or cataplexy.

Through the introduction of the above content, we can understand that transient ischemic attacks are divided into different types, and the symptoms of different types of transient ischemic attacks are also different. After understanding the symptoms of transient ischemic attack, family members can preliminarily determine the patient's condition and provide care based on the advice of professional doctors.
