What is the treatment for transient ischemic attack?

Time: A transient ischemic attack is a stroke that spontaneously resolves. All that it takes is time. However, often patients with a stroke are given clot-busting drugs to open up the clogged artery since you cannot tell initially.

Healthy lifestyle: General recommendation is to control blood pressure, cholesterol levels, glucose levels (if diabetic), adhere to a healthy diet (mediterranean is great!), quit smoking and be physically active (at least 30 minutes per day 3 times a week). Aspirin is commonly used as a first medication unless there is an indication for a blood thinner.
