TGA causes
I know there is no confirmed cause/s known for TGA. there are some six guesses in Mayo related page, none common among TGA interviewed patients.
Being a TGA patient in the last 15 years and experiencing several mild and severe incidences of amnesia made me go through all available sources discussing this issue.
I had some of the speculations indicated as possible causes of TGA, but none could be as the real one.
I started making flash backs in my life. My job was full stress, my family life was not a paved road. I had many years of stress of different types. the strongest blow was a fraud case that sent to hospital.
When the storm abated, I started to pinpoint the sources of stress and managed them with success, to some extend.
Retirement was a bonus.
Now, I wonder why long-term stress should not be considered as the core causes of TGA. You may not have had it just before TGA incidence but it had paved the road for TGA during years to be triggered by a simple act like sex, strenuous job, quarrel.....
That's my conclusion I wanted to share with you and request Mayo researchers to validate/reject it through studying the history of long-term stress in TGA patients.
Thanks for your indulgence
