Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) and heart rhythm issues
Hello,
I have been struggling with atrial tachycardia, flutter and fibrillation since an ablation in July '24. A few weeks ago, I had an intense episode of dizziness with other symptoms that lasted approx 7-10 minutes. Since then, I was emergently hospitalized and discharged after 5 days in the hospital. I am having a lot of mental "fog" - inability recalling dates/names/experiences, inability to concentrate and short term memory loss/recall (I will forget what I am doing while I am doing it). I am also having balance issues and continued dizzy spells, although these are pretty straightforward.
Has anyone experienced a TIA/mini-stroke and what was your experience - in terms of symptoms, follow up, any treatments?
My congenital cardiologist did order a brain MRI/A which I am hopefully having next week at my appointment.
Thanks!
Amy

I have had multiple TIA’s and have been advised that there is nothing other than blood thinners and blood pressure meds for prevention-but no guarantees. Having memory loss, episodic vertigo and dizziness and episodic tingling in my left arm. Brain MRIs do not display any major impact of TIAs.
