Ask lots of questions on how you should change and what effect it is likely to have. I always ask questions & find it is good to know what is happening....it also makes it easier to stick to that changes!
Hope all goes well!

it could be worse, better to be forwarned with a TIA than to get a full blown stroke.I guess you may be put on anticoagulants, I have been taking them for 3 years with no problems .
Remember what I said earlier about checking your pulse regularly, so many older people had heart irregularities and don't realise until they have a TA or stroke then it can be too late.
