My mother experienced a sudden wave that went through her left arm up till the brain and then numbness and loss of movement in one hand. Then an hr later she felt it again on the left part of her face and ears. Got MRI done..doc said it is tia and gave aspirin 150 mg for lifetime. *Ws itTIA? Is aspirin fr lifetym safe as it cn cause bleed in brain*
TIA is transient ischemic attack. Its a blockage of blood sole to an area of brain temporarily. This causes a temporary loss of function of that area of Brain. We need to find the cause of this, so as prevent further such attacks. A complete evaluation is necessary. Aspirin prevents such blockage and helps. Although it can cause Bleeding, it is the only medicine that is recommended. Any medicine used as blood thinner to prevent blockage can cause Bleeding. But it is prescribed because it is essential.
