Ron Paul livestream stroke?

Hopefully just a TIA...

TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack)
...
When you have a TIA, the flow of blood to part of your brain gets cut off for a short time. It's also called a ministroke, but don't let the "mini" part fool you. A TIA can be a sign that a full-blown stroke is on the way. About 1 in 3 people who have a TIA go on to have a stroke, often within a year.

TIAs are short and won't cause lasting damage, but it's still important to treat them like an emergency and get care right away.

What Causes a TIA?

TIAs typically happen because a blood clot gets lodged in an artery that supplies blood to the brain. Without regular blood flow, your brain is starved for oxygen and can't work like it normally does.

That's why you get symptoms like muscle weakness or slurred speech. It would be like having a clogged fuel line in your car. Your engine can't run if it's not getting gas.

Clots form when you have a buildup of a fatty, waxy substance called plaque in your arteries. They can take shape anywhere in your body and float along until they get stuck somewhere. If that "somewhere" happens to be an artery that goes to your brain, you can have a TIA.

You can also get a TIA if so much plaque builds up in an artery that it severely limits blood flow to the brain, just like a clot.

How Is a TIA Different From a Stroke?

TIAs are very similar to ischemic strokes, which are also caused by blood clots.

The main difference is that a TIA only lasts a few minutes. The clot then gets pushed along, like a temporary clog in a pipe, or chemicals in your body quickly break it down. Normal blood flow returns to your brain before any lasting problems set in. Symptoms can last for up to 24 hours, but they're usually gone in an hour.

Strokes, on the other hand, don't go away so quickly. That means some part of your brain goes without oxygen, and the longer that lasts, the more damage happens. While a TIA comes on, goes away, and leaves no symptoms, a stroke can have long-lasting effects and can be life-threatening.

Man, lemme tell you. I was not prepared for how that affected me watching it live. I'm so glad he's going to be okay. I instantly thought of all of you guys and had to come say hey. <3
 
OH NO!

I've been avoiding "news" all day because it gets so upsetting, but my husband just phoned asking what happened to Ron Paul. This is the first place I came to check on him... :cry:

God SAVE Ron Paul! :pray:

Glad to see he's tweeted that he's alright.

Yeah, it's scary seeing that.
 
Get well soon Dr. Paul! Millions are with you and always will be with you in spirit.

You are one of the strongest men I have ever known and have fought against great evil for much of your life. This should be a battle you should and can easily win as your fighting spirit is second to none. Keep fighting and do what is necessary, including pausing the show for as long as needed to focus on healing.

You are not alone, not for a second.
