A member asked:

Can slurred speech and loss of muscle control start days or months after a mini stroke?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No. Those symptoms suggest there are more mini or real strokes occurring. The patient needs a neurological exam ASAP, and unless contra-indicated, should take a baby aspirin daily now! Call doc today!

A stroke is an acute event with maximal deficit fully presenting by 24 hrs at most. Days or months later suggest additional vascular obstruction, and is consistent with a new stroke.
