What you need to know about your condition:

You were treated in the hospital for a mini-stroke (TIA). A mini-stroke happens when blood briefly stops reaching part of your brain. Even though you feel completely back to normal right now, your body has given you an important warning sign. Taking your prescribed medicines every single day protects your brain from a major stroke.

🚨 WHEN TO CALL EMERGENCY SERVICES IMMEDIATELY:

Do not wait! Call emergency services (999 / 911 / 193) immediately if you or someone around you notices:
• Face: Has your face fallen on one side? Can you smile?
• Arms: Can you raise both arms and keep them there?
• Speech: Is your speech slurred or strange?
• Time: It is time to call for an ambulance right away.

Your 3 Action Steps at Home:
  1. Take your blood-thinner medicine (Aspirin & Clopidogrel) with breakfast every morning. Do not stop without talking to your doctor.
  2. Do not drive for at least 1 month, as required by transport driving safety regulations.
  3. Attend your outpatient clinic follow-up appointment next week for your heart monitor and ultrasound results.
