Hi

Sorry to hear about your episode :(

A TIA by defintion has all symptoms resolve within 24 hours.

A TIA is a warning, I would also treat a minor stroke as a warning. Trust me you do not want to have a full blown stroke.

Find out what caused the episode & do everything you can to prevent further ones.

HTH
