[|Human|] 3 days ago I had heat rise from the neck to the head and numbness on my left side of the face and arm. I went to the hospital and after a few tests, the doctors concluded that I had a TIA. After coming home from the hospital, Im still getting some numbness and tiggling in my face and arms. Is this normal to happen after a TIA?
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome, If you still have the symptoms after 24 hours transient ischemic attack (TIA) but they are weaker than initial TIA symptoms it is highly likely a "minor stroke". The symptoms may last a few weeks, or longer and usually have favorable outcomes. But people who had TIA or minor stroke have increased (12 to 20%) risk of having an ischemic stroke or an acute coronary event within the next 3 months. Please, make an appointment with your health care provider and start secondary stroke prevention strategies (statin therapy, antiplatelet therapy etc.). I hope the above information will be helpful for you. Please, feel free to ask me if there is anything else you need to know. Thank you, Malik Among MD
