Medical Attention for a Painkiller Overdose. A known or suspected painkiller overdose is a medical emergency that requires immediate assistance. Contact your local emergency number or 9-1-1 to get help. Tell the paramedics how much of the drug was ingested and the time in which it was ingested.
A mini-stroke, also called a transient ischemic attack (TIA), is a stroke that lasts for a few seconds to a few hours. Stroke symptoms come and then disappear. A mini-stroke can happen when a blood clot temporarily blocks a blood vessel in your brain. Your body may release certain proteins to dissolve the clot.
