4. Dizziness
TIA may cause dizziness and a loss of balance. Poor coordination or trouble walking are possible, as well. Other symptoms, such as muscle numbness and weakness, can worsen the dizziness, causing more impairment.
Some people may also have nausea during a mini stroke. Seeking treatment is the smart course of action for people at high risk for TIA and stroke. Some of the risk factors include high blood pressure, diabetes, carotid artery disease and high cholesterol.
