It's not just the public who don't know enough about TIAs. The same survey by the Stroke Association found that 16% of people didn't feel they were taken seriously when describing their symptoms and 25% reported that health professionals didn't realise that they had had a TIA. Stories of misdiagnosis range from patients being told they had a migraine, being referred for eye tests or believing they had sciatica.
