Simple lifestyle changes may help prevent lingering exhaustion after a mini-stroke.
A transient ischemic attack (TIA), otherwise known as a mini-stroke, is a temporary block in blood flow to the brain. While it may cause symptoms that disappear quickly, a recent study has found that about half of people who have a TIA experience long-term tiredness that can last up to one year.
Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, a board-certified internist and author of “From Fatigued to Fantastic!,” noted that as many as 500,000 to 650,000 Americans may experience post-TIA or stroke fatigue each year—a condition he says is highly treatable with well-tolerated dietary supplements.
