🧪 Why Mini-Strokes Happen

Mini-strokes are typically caused by:

• Blood clots temporarily blocking arteries
• Narrowed blood vessels due to plaque buildup
• Irregular heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation

Although the blockage is temporary, it indicates a serious underlying issue that requires attention.

If you or someone around you shows signs of a mini-stroke:

1. Call emergency services immediately
2. Do not wait for symptoms to pass
3. Note the time symptoms started
4. Avoid driving yourself—seek professional help

Early intervention can prevent a full stroke and save your life.
