Mini-Strokes Often Go Unnoticed: 9 Symptoms You Should Never Ignore
Someone may suddenly:
* Slur words
* Speak strangely
* Struggle to find simple words
* Say sentences that do not make sense
* Be unable to understand what others are saying
Speech difficulty is one of the central FAST warning signs.
Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Any sudden abnormal speech should be taken seriously.
## 5. Sudden Vision Problems
Temporary vision changes are another possible sign.
Symptoms can include:
* Blurred vision
* Double vision
* Partial loss of sight
* Complete loss of vision in one eye
* Sudden difficulty seeing in both eyes
The American Stroke Association includes sudden blindness or vision changes among TIA warning signs.

## 6. Sudden Dizziness or Vertigo
