Page "Transient ischemic attack" Paragraph 2

Symptoms vary widely from person to person, depending on the area of the brain involved.

The most frequent symptoms include temporary loss of vision ( typically amaurosis fugax ); difficulty speaking ( aphasia ); weakness on one side of the body ( hemiparesis ); and numbness or tingling ( paresthesia ), usually on one side of the body.

Impairment of consciousness is very uncommon.

There have been cases of temporary and partial paralysis affecting the face and tongue of the afflicted.

The symptoms of a TIA are short-lived and usually last a few seconds to a few minutes and most symptoms disappear within 60 minutes.

Some individuals may have a lingering feeling that something odd happened to the body.

Dizziness, lack of coordination or poor balance are also symptoms related to TIA.

Symptoms vary in severity.
