I am curious as to whether this has been at all linked to eplilepsy (seizures) and/or to any particular types of medications being taken at the time of these brain attacks.
In particular the ingestion of any prescription drugs and whether those drugs are derived from "natural" sources (opiate/poppy/plant) or from "unnatural" (synthetic/man-made) sources (ultram, etc.)
This is based upon my own experiences and observations of my family history.

- It is certainly not a common thing. It is occasionally difficult to distinguish TIAs and partial seizures, but they are nosologically different conditions. Could you elaborate? JFW | T@lk 07:47, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] blood shot eyes
Would any of the symptoms of TIA be blood shot eyes? My mom's eyes are completely red after an episode
- One would wonder if she is actually suffering from TIAs. These questions are best posed to health professionals as opposed to random people on the internet. JFW | T@lk 19:21, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Call 911 immediately
This section might want to be modified or added to such as to include all other nations which, believe it or not do not use 911 as their emergency number. Can we get some alternatives such as 000 for Australia,and so forth. Or at least a standard disclaimer below the 911 text. Sure people are not stupid about emergency numbers (I hope), but this is a globally accessible project, is it not?
- There should probably be a template for this. If you wanted to get fancy enough, you could change the template text depending on the browser's country of origin. In any case, this fix should not apply to this page only; there are plenty of urgent medical conditions. Vectro 16:58, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] EXPRESS/OXVASC
One cannot begin to contemplate the shift in emphasis brought about by the Oxford team of Peter Rothwell. With a new protocol on early TIA intervention they prevented a whopping 80% of early recurrent stroke as opposed to standard management. doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(07)61448-2 - this should certainly be included.

[edit] Incorrect info in the Treatment section
EKGs do not detect thrombus, as stated in the Treatment section. EKGs can show atrial fib which can lead to an embolus. Again, EKGs will never show a thrombus or embolus formation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.230.73.88 (talk) 22:40, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
