    Looks almost exactly like a seizure. Has it been confirmed it’s a mini stroke?

      From what I’ve read, the symptoms from both of these episodes are more consistent with a TIA. He hasn’t confirmed anything, all we got from the last one was his handlers saying that “he’s fine” (this is definitely a normal thing that happens to people who are fine btw).

      He reported dizziness, displayed difficulty understanding what other people are saying (asking if the reporters could speak up), and he didn’t just “snap out of it” and return to normal afterwards. These are not typical absence seizure symptoms.

          de-encyclopedia — TIA stands for “transient ischemic attack”, but they’re more commonly known as “ministrokes”. The difference between a TIA and a stroke is almost entirely in the duration; the blockage of a TIA lasts very briefly and causes no permanent damage, while the blockage of a stroke lasts much longer and is highly likely to result in permanent damage, if not death. The underlying cause of atherosclerosis is the same in both, however, meaning that about a third of all people who experience a single TIA will have a stroke within the year.
