TIA symptoms but ALL tests come back negative for anything
I am looking for someone that has had a similar experience. TIA symptoms,was brought to the emergency room and admitted and treated as possible stroke patient. All tests come back negative for stroke related attack. Brain and heart and blood showed nothing indications of anything at all. Ruled out diabetic problems, medication problems, drinking or drug problems, physical or physical activity problems.

@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.
@debhealth12 I have done every test you can think of from the neurologist and cardiologist and everything comes back saying I am VERY healthy. Strokes run in my family on both parents side so maybe it’s just genetic for me.
You basically repeated my story from last year. 3 TIAs in eight days in March and then another one in September but no results from any tests. Reminds you that life is short and live each day to it’s fullest

Wow that sounds like me. All Doctors say I had a TIA stroke but all test come back normal. I have these flashed when I am driving and when home. My Primary doctor called it seizures. I am going to a Neurosurgeon next. I am confused.
@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.

1 Reaction@kndaustin71 Yes, I was put on blood thinners in the ER and aspirin once I got home.
@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.
Thanks for sharing! My condolences on the passing of your Mom!
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.
