TIA symptoms but ALL tests come back negative for anything

I have Functional Neurological Disorder. FND. Sometimes my body just freezes, and I can’t speak. It. Comes on suddenly and goes away about 15 minutes.

Have your symptoms presented just once? Might consider Migraine Head ache etiology. Some auras present that way and then may or may not be followed by migrainous headache. Great that your work-up was negative for all the major issues. If it continues you might want to consider a neurology consult for migraine headaches.

Same thing with me. I was hospitalized 6 times in last 5 months for 1 TIA and others instances were possible TIA and severe left sided weakness. Also, they didn't rule out migraines, albeit I have never had a migraine in my life. Sigh.

My symptoms were:lightheaded, left side numbness, tingling, visual disturbances, feeling confused and mild facial droop.

My previous MRI demonstrated 2 past strokes. Chronic Infarcts.

My mother had numerous Tia episodes over several years. We were told nothing was seen on ct/mri which is usual since they are transient and leave no permanent damage. The diagnosis of Tia was confirmed when a ct scan was done during the episode and then showed nothing on a second scan a few hours later. Mom did end up with dementia (vascular due to decrease of blood flow in brain but not a clot)) and passed at 95. Signs of Tia was slurred speech, drooping eyelids etc. which appear like a stoke. They are often the precursor to a stroke and need to be evaluated.

Thanks for sharing! My condolences on the passing of your Mom!

@SusanEllen66 I became dizzy and sat down, then went to lie down. Then I had my arm and leg on my left side with whooshes of tingling. My lips on the left side and tongue also tingled. I could still smile evenly, so I knew I wasn’t having a stroke. In the ER, both arms were tingling at various times. They found no damage at all, thank God.

@kndaustin71 Yes, I was put on blood thinners in the ER and aspirin once I got home.

@cheyne
I just experience the same thing. I still have to have a MRI, but I had 2 CT Scans, in hospital. I did go under anesthesia the day before so the hospital blamed it on that. I also was scheduled for surgery a few days later. The Anesthesiologist absolutely blamed it on TIA stroke. He told me they don’t show up on CT scans. I was fine after surgery no issues. Then I go to my Primary
Doctor who scared me to death. He told me I am at a high risk for major stroke. I went for Echocardiogram and a test to check my neck, all came back negative so now I am confused.
