Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) – Symptoms & Causes

Loss of Balance

Due to the weakness in legs or arms caused by a transient ischemic attack, people with this condition often have some difficulties with their coordination or balance. They would fall frequently without any causes. It can be harder to pick up a pencil, hold on a chair without dizziness, or even walk normally with balance. A blood clot during the ministroke would affect your center of gravity and make it challenging to stand upright. In these cases, just sit down gradually on the ground and call for help. Otherwise, a sudden fall would affect your head and cause many serious issues, especially for the cognitive system. [5]
