TIA symptoms but ALL tests come back negative for anything

My husband actually had a stroke and everything was good with him. Nothing with his blood work or any of the heart tests they did. They admitted him cause he apparently did have a stroke. The doctor he had while he was in the hospital was awesome. He did a bubble test. This test actually showed there was a pin sized hole in the backside of his heart (PFO : patent foramen ovale) My husband was born with it like we all are but his did not close all the way. He was 49 when he had the stroke. Luckily the heart doctor he had has a PFO. He also did the monitor for a month, etc. and they were all normal. maybe ask about that test to be done. I hope you can find a doctor that can help your husband. You as his partner feel powerless. My prayers are with you🙏❤️

@stauggroomer35 This is interesting! Before the bubble test, did they find blockage through a brain MRI or CT Angiogram, or could they just tell based on his symptoms that he had a stroke? Although my entire life has changed the past two years, they haven’t found anything (Frustrating, frustrating). Vascular neurologists Won’t see me because I haven’t had a documented stroke. I finally have an appointment next month with a vascular neurologist, and I’m wondering if I should bring up the bubble test? Before the stroke, I was an endurance athlete (5K - marathons, and sprint to half Ironman triathlon). Now, I can’t even think about riding my bike, And my glorious exercise is walking in nature. cardiology wise, I am like your husband. Totally unremarkable, Even though I battle for breath after showering or doing dishes. Walking is fine. Anyway, I’m glad things are going well for him, and I appreciate you putting that “bubble test” out there.
