Hi,
My husband had a suspected TIA last week. He was at work and came over feeling all odd and had numbness down his whole left side, along with pins and needles. He got himself a glass of water, then felt ok. Whole episode lasted a minute. The following day when he was driving he felt odd on 2 occassions and felt like things were “closing in on him”.
His tests and scans have been clear, we are just waiting on the heart monitor results. Hes been wearing the monitor for over a week.
Its hard as nobody, at the moment, can say for sure whether its a TIA and, if so, what caused it.
Hes on medicine - aspirin and satins. I believe his blood pressure was slightly high but no idea about cholesterol levels.
Im worried sick about him and whether this will happen again. Next time what if he has a full stroke? He says he cant imagine how he’ll drive again.
Also we may never find out what caused this,so no idea how can move on…
He has stopped alcohol (high intake before) and eating well
