Lasting effects of TIA

Hi Pam. Sorry to hear about your TIA/Stroke.

Did you get a MRI when it happened to check for any infarct (brain damage)? A TIA isn’t supposed to leave lasting damage/residual symptoms, but sometimes the term is used by mistake when a small stroke actually occurred.

My main symptom from a mild brainstem stroke was vertigo. I did physio 3x a day every day for months. I’m mostly over it now thankfully but it’s still there sometimes and bothers me. So I can relate.

Vestibular rehab is what you need to do

There is another thread you can read here about TIA:
