*Don’t ignore mini-stroke (TIA) warning signs!* 🚨

If you suddenly feel weakness in your arms or legs, have difficulty speaking, or find your words jumbled, even if the symptoms disappear within a day, DO NOT ignore it! It could be a transient ischaemic attack [referred to as mini-stroke (TIA) ]🧠. If the cause is not diagnosed and treated in time, there is a high chance of up to 20% of having another stroke within three months.  

Remember act ”FAST” ❗️slogan: 

“F”😄: Facial weakness 🥴
