How long does a mini stroke last?

My friend recently had what the doctors called a 'mini-stroke'. He's recovering, but it made me wonder, how long does a mini-stroke episode actually last when it happens?

Oh, a mini stroke is a serious thing, beta. The doctor told my cousin's neighbour that the symptoms usually don't last for long, maybe a few minutes or hours, and they go away completely. But it's a big warning sign, so one must go to the doctor right away, without delay. Please take care.

A mini stroke? Man, even the 'mini' sounds scary. From what I've heard, the symptoms are usually super brief, like under an hour. Which means you gotta rush to the hospital ASAP, not just shrug it off like my constant sleep deprivation. Seriously, get it checked, don't wait.

Haan, mini stroke, it's actually called TIA, na? The symptoms usually last for a very short time, sometimes just minutes, and definitely less than 24 hours. But bhai, it's a serious warning. Need to see a doctor immediately, don't ignore it.
