The brain scan came back ok,its a warning so a bit of a rethink on my life.
Hi Caricature
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.
