Speech Problems

Poor oxygen and nutrients to some brain areas which are responsible for speech would cause trouble comprehending or distorted speech. Therefore, it is not uncommon for people with a transient ischemic attack to have some difficulties pronouncing similar words, mangling words, or communicating with other people as usual. The duration can vary a lot, depending on the underlying cause and your condition. Even when your ability to understand and speak returns back to the normal level quickly, it is essential to get a comprehensive health check to find out the presence of a stroke or ministroke. [4]
