Frankie Muniz, who starred in the US comedy Malcolm in the Middle, has suffered a second transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or 'mini stroke'.

It happened 11 months after the 27-year-old experienced his first attack.

"Almost a year to the day, I experienced another mini stroke. Hopefully that will be the last. Miserable," he tweeted.

Earlier this year, Muniz said he believed his first was caused by stress and "responsibilities" at work.

At the time his band, Kingsfoil, had just finished their tour and were releasing an album on their own label.

"I'm just a very high stressed person," he said.

"We handle 99% of the business side of the band as well, I put a lot of the responsibilities on my shoulders," the actor and musician said.

"Not to say that it is funny but two months before [the mini stroke], our merchandise order was behind, we had to get the album out.

"I said to my manager, 'I'm going to have a stroke' and sure enough I did."

He was taken to hospital after he started experiencing problems with his speech.

A TIA is caused by a temporary disruption in the blood supply to part of the brain.

Symptoms can be similar to a stroke and include problems with speech and vision but they only last for a few minutes and are usually gone within 24 hours.
