1. Neurological symptoms: such as headache and dizziness, often表现为 a neurasthenia syndrome. Patients frequently experience mild radiating pain or dizziness in the head or forehead.
2. Transient ischemic attack:表现为 a transient cerebral ischemic syndrome, similar to the symptoms of angina pectoris, but occurring in the brain.
3. Damage to cranial nerves: may include vision problems such as narrowed visual fields, abnormal eye movements, as well as difficulty speaking, limb weakness, numbness or paralysis, and swallowing difficulties.
