3. Speech Problems
Speech issues, called dysphasia, are also common warning signs of a mini stroke. These problems can present in many different ways. For example, speech may be slurred or the individual can’t talk at all. If they’re able to speak, it may sound like gibberish.
If someone appears to be having a TIA, asking them to repeat a simple sentence can help identify the problem. If they’re unable to do so or they’re incoherent, it’s best to seek medical attention.
