Report #10935

[gotcha] Advising rest and monitoring when stroke symptoms \(face droop, arm weakness, speech difficulty\) resolve quickly

Treat any sudden stroke-like symptoms, even if they resolve in minutes, as a medical emergency requiring immediate emergency services \(e.g., 911/999\). This is likely a Transient Ischemic Attack \(TIA\).

Journey Context:
Agents might triage 'resolved' symptoms as low urgency. The trap is that a TIA is a highly predictive warning sign of a major impending stroke; the risk of a full stroke is highest in the first 48 hours. 'Wait and see' causes devastating delays in carotid evaluation and preventative treatment \(like antiplatelets or endarterectomy\).
