Bengaluru is the heart of India’s IT industry. From Electronic City to Whitefield, Outer Ring Road to Manyata Tech Park, lakhs of professionals spend their days coding, debugging, and meeting deadlines. But while we focus on building apps and solving business problems, there’s one bug many ignore—health risks that silently damage the brain.
One of the most important but lesser-known risks is the mini-stroke, medically called a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA). It comes quietly, disappears quickly, but carries a powerful message: “Take care of your brain before it’s too late.”
What Exactly Is a Mini-Stroke?
A mini-stroke happens when blood flow to the brain is blocked for a short time. Symptoms come suddenly—weakness, slurred speech, blurred vision, dizziness—but vanish within minutes or hours.
That’s why many IT professionals brush it off as “stress” or “just tiredness from screen time.” But in reality, a TIA is a warning signal. Nearly 1 in 3 people who suffer a TIA may go on to have a major stroke later, often within days.

Why Bengaluru Needs to Pay Attention
Our city is full of young, ambitious professionals. Yet hospitals are now seeing strokes in patients in their late 20s and early 30s many from the IT sector.
Think about it: a 29-year-old coder in Whitefield collapses at his desk. Colleagues think it’s exhaustion, but it’s a mini-stroke. He recovers in minutes, but that was his warning shot. Two weeks later, he suffers a full stroke that changes his life.
This isn’t a scare story it’s reality. TIAs are happening around us, and we must treat them with urgency.
