Have they put you on a blood thinner? They put me on one shortly after I had an afib event from Zytiga. That can prevent a stroke, which an afib can cause. I had a continuous afib for three days, that they put me in the hospital for. The fact that I was on a blood thinner allowed me to avoid a stroke.
If they think you had a TIA then it sure would seem to make sense To avoid another one.

They put me on Plavix 75mg for 21 days and a baby aspirin forever.
This prostate surgery seems too have taken someone in good shape for 79 and did more harm than good.
Still feel weak and light headed, but I still get out and walk, did 3 miles yesterday. Doesn't bother me at all, doc said I could start lifting weights again, but limit to 40 pounds. That seems a waste, they will laugh at me at the gym. Haven't went back to any weights yet because I know there will be lots of stress incontinence. Darn peeing issues drives me nuts. Never feel like need to pee during day unless I sit or lie on couch and read book for an hour, then pee just a little bit. Mostly just drip and stress incontinence at the slightest movement all day long. Strangely not much leakage after I get walking, but no feeling of needing to go after walk.
Now at night while sleeping I have the urge to pee really bad, 4 - 6 times and shoot a stream out like a teenager! But still leak all night and sometimes have to change the overnight Depends around 4 or 5 am. Why I have an urge at night and not during the day is a mystery. Drink lots of water during day. I stop drinking liquid around 7 or 8 PM and go to bed around 11PM to 11:30PM.
