I would like to thank you for providing this feed. It helps educate.

Can the Covid Vaccine play into this at all? Or mold in the environment? Just wondering.

Can a MRI be misread/interpreted? Is a second opinion recommended?

When my FIL had his TIA the ambulance personel was acting like we were calling them cuz we had nothing better to do and wasting their time. Their advice was to wait it out before calling them. But u tell us the contrary

I am 51 and my doctor thinks I’m having TIAs, possibly. I am just learning about it. I have weekly or even daily symptoms like numbness in my face and have lost sight in one eye temporarily. I am also having issues that feel like clots in my lungs that are causing my heart to race, flutter, hurt and feel squeezed and cause me to cough. Is this all related, possibly?

I went to ER when this started and found out I have an ascending thoracic aorta aneurysm. I have extreme hot flashes started with these symptoms. Can clots also go into lungs and dissolve quickly? I keep having these symptoms daily.

I have had many tests that I’m waiting for results. MRIs, CTs, Sonos and even wore a heart monitor and I’m still battling with symptoms daily. Any advise?

I have hEDS, POTS and Mast Cell activation disorder. Does this cause complications with this? Is a neurologist the best doctor to seek for treatment?

Really helpful information. I think one risk factor they forgot to mention though was high cholesterol.

Hello, I have had 5 attacks in the last few weeks where at first for about 2 seconds the world starts to turn upside down to the right, then I get flush from my head down my arms to my hands. Then I get a little headache from a half an hour to a few hours. Today I had an attack and I got a little numbness around the left side of my mouth. I told all of this to my doctor today and he sent me here to youtube to look at videos for Epley Maneuver to treat BPPV vertigo. Do I have vertigo or am I having a mini stroke? Thanks

Is it common to have pain in the eyes after stroke?

[lorelai]

If I went to ER every time I feel like this… I would be there right now (and almost every day). But it does go away. I went to the hospital… and they never addressed this. They found the aneurysm and sent me home. It’s so frustrating.

Will everyone who has a TIA have a major stroke/heart attack???
