TIA symptoms but ALL tests come back negative for anything

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.

Hi,
I'm sceptical of Dr's comments that are surely designed to shock us into action. Granted they mean well but scaring people isn't a smart option in my view. I always retort, when am I likely to have these strokes you have been promising me, how much longer, it's been years and I'm still waiting. There has been no response to that or more correctly I get a dumb look and silence!
I have some serious health issues that cannot be treated as I react severely to all known medications for these issues, now all they can administer is the shrug of the shoulder with the all too familiar blank look and the words, they can't offer anymore.
My bloods come back negative except for the health issues I deal with and they remain constant. Outside the guidelines but I survive.
I have stopped blood thinners, take low doses of BP meds and insulin which does little for me as they are such low doses, but persist in the hope I will get used to the side effects and may be able to increase the doses soon. But alas, I continue to react to them all still.
I have now decided to stop the medications as the side effects are greater than the cause or symptoms that they are designed to treat. My kidney function is constantly slipping away 3B, BP is as sky high as ever, diabetes T2 is slowly doing its damage with numb legs and feet and my glucose level is always above the guideline, Autonomic polyneuropathy has corrupted my digestive system, my cholesterol is way above normal even though it has come down from 9.8 and my enlarged heart is still taking care of business. So, I'm in pretty good shape unmedicated,
I guess I'm a big-hearted sweetie all said and done!
Cheers

@debhealth12 bubble test, die test, at home monitoring for months all came back as me being just fine. All doctors are very confused. I believe this is a very rare phenomenon. That is why I created the original post on this forum to see if there were other people out there with similar conditions. Not common enough for doctors to realize it’s a real problem and could use some studying at some university.
