my2catsn1dog	Yes, they are called TIA's. They are mini strokes. Usually a person can have several of them but do lead to a major stroke. I would have it checked out by a doctor if you or someone else you know thinks that they have had one. Very serious business. My mother in law had them.

Brian	A major stroke would be readily noticable by anybody who interacted with the patient. Among the most obvious of the symptoms are slurred speach (or difficulty speaking) and a drooping on one side of the face. A less severe stroke would be less noticable, and a very small stroke may not be visible, at all, to the untrained eye. TIA' (trans-ischemic attacks) are 'mini-strokes' which come and go. With the occurance of a TIA, stroke symptoms are present (slurred speach, difficuly swallowing, weakness on one side of the body) but the symptoms pass . . . if you're not sure, see you're doctor and request an MRI of your brain -- maybe something IS going on -- and you're just not seeing it.
