TIA and Minor Stroke

Keith: I was talking to my wife and suddenly I just couldn't formulate words. The words wouldn't come out, and my wife asked me a question I just simply couldn't answer. Sounds came out but it didn't make any sense. And also I couldn't -, I knew what I wanted to say but I just couldn't think of the words to say what I wanted to say. And that was the first time.

Angus: Well, if someone's experiencing one first thing is to identify, make -, and not to ignore it and think of something else. If something goes wrong with your body and you're not sure what it is, it could be a TIA. It maybe nothing, but it's worth getting  to see someone sooner rather than later to talk about, to discuss it.

Yvonne: I think people need to be more aware that there is such a thing as a minor stroke and a TIA, and the symptoms are not as severe. But if you know somebody and they are looking anyway, not their normal self, or maybe reacting differently, not speaking properly, stuff like that it should raise alarm bells and maybe you should be thinking, well, maybe I ought to call an ambulance.
