The office of Omaha Mayor Jim Suttle say he's back in Omaha and is being tested to see whether he suffered an attack that warns of an impending stroke.
The office says Suttle suffered "what doctors believe may have been a transient ischemic attack'' while he was in Ireland. Suttle was hospitalized there on Friday after he complained that he wasn't feeling well. He was flown back to Omaha by air ambulance and is undergoing tests at Methodist Hospital.
Doctors at the Mayo Clinic say on its website that a transient ischemic attack is like a stroke, producing similar symptoms that usually last only a few minutes and cause no permanent damage. The experts say about a third of the people who have such attacks eventually have strokes.
