5. Vision Issues
Impaired, blurred or double vision may be signs of a mini stroke. It’s also possible to suddenly lose the ability to see for a brief period. Many patients describe the experience as having a dark curtain dropped over their eyes.
These vision issues can happen in one or both eyes, but usually affects only one. The symptoms may mean a blockage or blood clot is in the vessel supplying blood to the retina. It’s best to consult a doctor if this happens, even if the problem only lasts a few minutes.
