My mother recently had a TIA. It was very frightening and unsettling. She went to the ER and was admitted. Mostly they left her alone, checking in routinely while they hurried to find an explanation for her odd symptoms. She arrived home about 30 minutes ago, pronounced alright but to keep an eye on her. She has an appointment to have the equivalent of an ultrasound on her neck tomorrow. This is not something to be treated lightly as the resulting effects can be a lot more dangerous than the actual event.

After a TIA, I found that I had a 90% clogged artery. a neurosurgeon cleaned it and the blood flows well now. I am on aspirin, and 3 other prescriptions.

I'm a 32-year-old woman with two kids. Three days ago, I suffered a TIA. At first my left side went numb and them my lips and tongue went numb, which really scared me. My hand went numb halfway up my arm. My mother was around for dinner, so she called the ambulance for me. Within an hour, all of my symptoms were gone, but my left arm felt very heavy for the next few days.

I was examined at the emergency room of the local medi-clinic, where a EKG was done and blood was drawn. I was admitted to a medical ward after the diagnosis of TIA was made. I was then seen by a specialist physician who ordered a brain scan, a sonar scan of the main blood vessels in my neck, and he also did a heart echo test. My heart was fine as well as the main blood vessels in my neck. My brain did show signs of a previous TIA incident. It was found that I had raised levels of cholesterol and sugar in my blood, and I was given a daily injection to thin the blood as well as a tablet for the high cholesterol. I also received physiotherapy for the lazy left hand.

Though in hospital ER overnight, I received no treatment.

I was subscribed blood pressure tablets as my blood pressure was extremely high, and told to take a small aspirin.
