I have had 3 mris since this TIA occurred. The one I just had in Sept showed a small cerebral aneurysm which is very small. I had a brain tumor removed 12 years ago that was benign and a meningioma the size of a small Orange that almost had my spinal fluid cut off. It was in my cerebellum but I needed no therapy or anything afterwards. My TIA did not show up 2 days later. I talked gibberish for awhile that day bc the doctors said they could not understand me, and then I started all this falling, and my writing was bad. The writing came back in a few days, the speech back in a few hours, but the balance issues continue. I can a lot save myself but it sometimes happens too quickly and I go down. My 95 year old mother who has never had anything but some blood pressure issues way later in her life but had a TIA and has not been able to walk for a year. She had no balance. But she is all of a sudden dementia is happening quickly partially from a couple really bad falls to the back of her head requiring staples etc. I don’t want to end up with that if I can help it. Her mother died of a stroke, her grandmother also, and my grandmothers brother died of a cerebral hemorrhage at age 30. So strokes are definitely on Moms side.

@jefferyverfo2025 sorry you have been experiencing everything you have outlined. My husband has had five strokes since 2018, two of which have been cerebellar strokes, the area that controls balance, and motion amongst other things. He has had motion induced daily dizziness that is debilitating the last 3 1/2 years. After multiple MRIs and all kinds of other things to rule out inner ear problems, his neurologist, diagnosed him with stroke induced 3PD, PERSISTENT POSTURAL PERCEPTUAL DIZZINESS. The only time he doesn’t have the sensation is when he is sitting still not moving his head or lying down. Also, we were told that if you have symptoms beyond 24 hours, you have not experienced a TIA, you’ve experienced a stroke. His MRIs show chronic ongoing subcortical, lacunar strokes and his MCI has progressed to Vascular Dementia. You would benefit from following through with a neurologist. Best wishes.
