Dr Ranj Singh spoke to one of his patients, Rachel, who has been living with the condition for years - and warned that it can be a 'silent killer' with no sign after an attack
BBC Morning Live's Dr Ranj Singh has issued a stark warning about a 'silent killer' that may leave no trace after an attack. He discussed TIA mini strokes and pointed out symptoms to watch for that could indicate one is occurring.
However, unlike a stroke, a TIA's effects are short-lived, typically lasting from a few minutes up to 24 hours before completely disappearing, reports Surrey Live. Dr Ranj spoke out about the critical early symptoms of a TIA, emphasising that: "The kind of test that we might do. First, we might do some blood tests to look at things like your cholesterol levels, which we know can be a factor. Look at your blood sugar levels because we know people that struggle with things like diabetes can have issues with strokes as well.
