Any stroke is serious. And it is also important to take the appropriate measures to prevent another stroke event
A "mild stroke" is indeed serious. Without knowing the details of what symptoms you experienced it is difficult to give you advice but you should be seen and undergo extensive testing because a small stroke may be a warning that a more serious stroke might occur soon. The type of stroke is also important. Was it a so-called transient ischemic attack (TIA) with only temporary symptoms or do you have persistent neurological symptoms such as speech or vision problems, weakness, paralysis, loss of feeling, etc.? Was your stroke due to bleeding within the brain? I suggest that you consult with a neurologist if you have not already done so and you should do this as soon as possible.
