TIA symptoms but ALL tests come back negative for anything

That’s the ONLY thing they gave me. One 81 mg baby aspirin a day even though a have a strong healthy heart.

Hi,
Yes, there was an instant blood thinner given, don't remember the name, followed by aspirin. I reacted badly to aspirin so have gone without blood thinners and so far touch wood been ok for the last 18 months or so.
Cheers

@cheyne, it sounds like you have an allergy to Aspirin. no matter the dosage. a lot of people are. my younger brother is. good luck then.

How did you know you were having or had a TIA?

What did it feel or look like?

That’s what all the doctors that took care of me at the hospital concluded and put on my discharge papers. My symptoms resembled that of being intoxicated or high. Non responsive to conversation, unaware of my conditions but not my surroundings. No pain or discomfort. Brain fog and memory loss. I was with people during all the TIAs and that’s what they said.

@calanbrown thanks. Last week I had a very strange “something” happen. Went to ER had all kinds of tests, kept me over night and no answers… could be TIA or Panic Attack, or “life”…

I think that a TIA would be diagnosed by the results of Ct scan and definitely by an MRI OF THE BRAIN.

not really true. i've had 3. none of these tests proved one way or the other. but we know i had them. right drooping. and a little speech slurring.

Has this done as long as any other test you can think of by a neurologist and cardiologist. That’s why they left the final results as a crcptogenic stroke. The second one I had, I was at the hospital within 20 minutes of start and doctors all agreed I was having a stroke as I did not drink or so drugs. After extensive testing they could not find any evidence though. I have a LOT of cardiologists and neurologists very stumped. But found out through this forum that I’m not the only one this has happened to.

I had two episodes two days in a row. First day-sudden drooping of left eye, vision going in and out, and sudden headache. I lost about 10 minutes time and then I was fine and didn’t worry about it till the next morning when again left eye dropped, unable to move left side, fuzzy vision this time and headache with total confusion. Went to ER this time and thought I was explaining everything but the medical staff didn’t seem to understand. They put me in an ER room, was given a neuro physical test that I passed. They sent me for a CT scan w/contrast and it showed I have been having chronic strokes(TMI)’s. I was given something for pain and sent to waiting area to see if medication worked. It did and they sent me home with no follow up instructions about strokes. I’ve had cognitive decline for a year now and still cannot get into a local neurologist. I’m not real impressed with the medical system right now and considering holistic treatments. I have a few other things going on. But that has been my experience with TMI.
