Strokes are potentially fatal medical emergencies. They occur when blood supply to part of the brain is cut off. Spotting any signs as soon as possible is vital.
Two such signs that affect the leg include loss of strength or numbness.
It explains: “This (a TIA) is a warning sign of a possible future stroke and is treated as a neurological emergency.
“Common temporary symptoms include difficulty speaking or understanding others, loss or blurring of vision in one eye and loss of strength or numbness in an arm or leg.
“Usually these symptoms resolve in less than 10 to 20 minutes and almost always within one hour.”
