Recognizing TIAs or mini-strokes

Linda Ciampa tells us TIAs or mini-strokes are a warning sign for a potentially fatal event - namely, stroke.

He seems like such a precious man with a kind spirit. I’m so glad he’s OK, and I hope he and his wife are having lots of fun travel adventures. 🙏🏻

My husband took the signs seriously and got treatment immediately!

Seek medical attention... then medi-cal refuses to refer you to a specialist.

A year ago I had what think was a TIA and I went to the Dr a couple of days later and bc I'm young he just brushed me off and acted like he didn't believe me but luckily I haven't had anymore symptoms for awhile.

[MrTaunya]

A stroke or cervical instability?
I do have cervical and lumbar stenosis.
In 2020 I began having episodes one every other week and everyone of them occurred during the night when asleep. I wake up having all of the symptoms. No physicians here could diagnose me because they said there is no damaged area seen on my brain So I’m left just staying home to sleep them off. I had these every other week for10 months of these exact symptoms . It stopped a month after having a lumbar fusion in October, than started again today 9/4/21. My symptoms do not dissipate fully until the next day.
Scared with no help! Not One Doctor told me to go to ED if I had these symptoms reoccur?

Last night i had a real scare. Was watching a show with my mom in her room, i got up to look out the window and suddenly my eyes felt strange, i thought at first it was my cheap glasses messing with my eyes. I took the glasses off and then all of a sudden it felt like mostly my right eye was being pulled inward and i went completely cross-eyed, double vision, I felt dizzy and almost like i wanted to pass out, then in a few mins my vision cleared up again, but my mom saw my eyes and she said they looked like they were wobbling inward to cross eyes position. after that i felt like my head was tight and the whole thing then gave me a panic attack. So not sure everything i felt after was part of it or my panic. I have never had the cross eye thing happen with my panic attacks before. I can say it scared the H out of me. I recently was put on blood pressure and cholesterol meds after a recent blood pressure crisis. All the tests done and i got 3 bombs dropped from my Dr the same day. the last being they found a nodule by accident in my chest xray. I go for CT next week.

I've had fainting spells while driving and twice lying in bed. Only lasts a couple seconds but its like the switch to my eyes turns off. Dr tried to blame on vertigo but thsi seems more sudden than the nausea I've experienced with vertigo.

My mother just dealt with that Last year in 2023, and I was stressed out that she got that, my mom is 59 years old, she’ll be 60 in October soon.

Relishing I have had TIAs soo meany times this year alone no smoking to help me not stress out

[AmericanDadBod-fl]

I think I had a TIA because my decision making abilities have lapsed.

[philuin]

I'm having a TIA according to my doctor and believe it's been going on years if you can link ocular migraines to TIA?

About 2-3 months ago I felt like I had to lie down & sleep. I felt really bad but couldn’t describe it. Both my parents had strokes followed by dementia. I went to see a consultant & had a CAT scan which showed I had a mini stroke. He prescribed aspirin. I had 1 strange episode in our local shopping centre. I felt I was being drawn to the left as I walked. My husband commented but I was determined to walk as straight as possible. This was about 3 weeks ago. It has happened since but not to the extent of the 1st episode. I see the consultant in 2 weeks.

My Dad passed out in the bathroom and I thought he was having seizures? He was rushed to the hospital and had more seizures (as I was told by Dr). So this means TIA?

[cosmicjustice]

Had one when I was 15 while waiting for a train. A few minutes after, I threw up and suddenly recovered. Never happened again during my life and I'm 38 now. Back then nobody knew what it was or even cared 😅. At the time, words were coming out backwards even though my inner voice was coherent. Some guy was asking me what drugs I've taken and then just walked off 😂... Thankful it turned out ok, even though I've never felt as mentally agile after that incident.
