TIA - Transient Ischemic Attack

The doctors said Pace could have had a transient ischemic attack (TIA). A TIA is a type of "minor" stroke that lasts only a few minutes. And while Pace has many of the symptoms, she's outside the usual clinical age range for this.

  • If you have a TIA there is 33% chance to never have another one
  • Another 33% chance you will have them repeatedly
  • The last 33% chance is that the TIA is an indicator of an impending full blown stroke
