I was 23 at the time, had a lot of heart problems and a blood clot that formed in my brain. I had a time of about two hours where I would lose my balance and fall down, be very confused and disoriented. Ultimately I was taken to the ER where they did CT scan and echocardiogram to double check everything. The doctor put me on aspirin and told me to be careful for other signs of TIA or major stroke.

A week in the hospital. Physician prescribed ECOTRIN and SIMVASTATIN.

I had experienced TIA at the age of 29. The first warning signs was an extreme headache to the right side of the back of my head. I later started losing my balance in walking, losing focus. I had difficulty swallowing and my left hand would start to tremble/bob before I had a seizure. I was told that based on The CT scan done I've had at least two.

I am 43 years old, have two boys 6 and 7 respectively, and I had a TIA. It was the most difficult thing to accept since I have always been a health nut and have a resting heart rate of 65. Taking care of myself has been a huge part of my duty as my kids mom and as a way of staying healthy and young at heart. The TIA came quickly, while I was driving with a friend, and lasted almost three hours. I had become numb on the entire right side of my body....even my tongue was numb and tingling! By the time I got to the ER, it had passed, and I felt almost completely normal again, other than the fact that I was completely bewildered by the incident. After seeing three doctors and having MRA, MRI, CAT scans and the like, I was told there were no real reasons for the attack. I am still reeling. The more I read, the more apprehensive I become, wondering if this was a precursor to an even larger attack to come. In the quest for answers, I have taken to an aspirin regimen, vitamin therapy, and staying with an exercise program.

I am 56 years old and am in good physical shape. Just recently went through a cholesterol study and all my numbers were excellent. I work a physical job without a lot of stress. My blood pressure has always very good. I recently had a EKG that was very good. Surprisingly though about two weeks ago I had a TIA. There are about 4 hours that I don't remember at all, but was told that I talked to several people and was functioning somewhat normal. I was taken to the hospital and they ran blood tests and a CT scan and all was clear. So far no real reason this incident. I am now on 1 aspirin a day and still awaiting further tests. I say take this very seriously as sometimes there are no obvious signs.

I woke up and was unbalanced, almost tripping over nothing. I went to work, and then I couldn't sign my name, and was tumbling around. My boss told me that I had a stroke, saying that she could see it in my face. I was brought to the hospital and had to stay 3 days. They later told me that I had a small aneurism in the right side of my head.

I am an ultra-fit, athletic person. On holiday I had an unexpected and violent headache which subsided and i was aware of a pins and needles sensation down my right side. Visited hospital and had CT scan, carotid Doppler, echocardiogram and heart and lung X-ray. All these were clear. I have no diabetes, blood pressure problems or high cholesterol. I am on aspirin and statins. I was told I have had a TIA despite no evidence.

I was told I had a TIA. I had a slight numbness in face and arm on the right side. Ten days ago they stated I had a stroke as seen on an MRI. At that time I had tingling and numbness of my left arm and left side of my face. I currently have only minor tingling in my left palm. I have no other symptoms other than a headache once in a while. They put me on Plavix and baby aspirin.

I am 73 years old, in good shape still teach piano, but....my new doctor took me off Zetia , which I've been on it for a number of years without any problem. The new doctor thought temporarily I would go off it. I then started with severe headaches and then pain down my left arm, it became very weak than numb. I went to the emergency ward, where they took a CT scan of my head and blood tests. I thought I was okay, but they told me I had a TIA and to go back on my cholesterol medication and to start taking a blood thinner.
