Can you have a stroke and not know it?

Mini Strokes / TIAs, can a person have a mini stroke and not even know they had one (like during sleep)?

  • I know mini strokes don' t have long lasting symptoms after they happen, but is it possible for people to have a tia/mini stroke and not even notice them and not even know they had one? if so, how common is this?

  • Answer:

    Yes. A friend of mine had a series of mini-strokes and didn't even know it until the cops pulled him over one night for driving erratically. They thought he was drunk; he didn't even realize he was weaving.
