I believe that TIA is short for a Transient Ischaemic Attack. I believe it is a tiny blood clot, causing temporary disruption to the blood supply to a part of the brain. I don't know if the American spellings have become the norm now in the UK (not that it matters, we know what they mean) - I'm a bit out of date with medical terminology.
Atrial Fibrillation causes disruption to the normal heartbeat, a kind of 'fluttering' if the heart. I have had it, very unpleasant. Small blood clots are produced, that can damage brain, lungs, kidneys. Thankfully, it was one of the things that just completely went away with LCHF diet, (along with 220/140 BP and GERD). It's why I'm a bit of a LCHF evangelist!
