Hi , sorry to hear. It is scary! I recently found out I had a small stroke. As it was put to me. I had a CT done , for ear issues. The stroke showed on this CT. I waited over 2 weeks to finally get the ENT to discuss my CT results. He did not offer up any information about the stroke. I did my research and found out on my own, prior to him finally discussing CT . When prompted he confirmed a small stroke. Told me not to lose any sleep over it. To contact my PPO. And set up an appointment. So now I wait another week. Yes losing sleep over it. Seems no one is concerned , but me. Includes family / spouse.So am I concerned for no reason? I feel I need to stay calm. But so very difficult to do. Why was this not a priority for my ENT ? A doctor is a doctor , regradless of specialty.

Most drs will not respond to something that is not their specialty. Maybe it was a tiny one if you did not know it had happened and tons of people have them. You may never have another one so no harm done. If he had told you right away you would have worried a lot for something that is done and gone. A neurologist should be the one to discuss it with you to ease your mind. I had 6 when I found out and I freaked out. Now 6 months later I know more about them and do know that as we get older most people will have them because our blood vessels are wearing out. Talk to your primary and hopefully, you will feel better about it.
