My father had TIA this evening. He felt numbness in his right side and dizziness. He was not admitted but has a test on his corotid artery this comming week. He is diabetic and has had high blood pressure for many years. He wanted to be stubborn and not go to the ER but wait and call his doctor in the morning. I tell this to remind others how important it is to get medical attention immediately when a stroke is suspected. Thank You very much for posting this important thread.
Thanks for sharing. You may want to take this article along and make sure the doctors don't just dismiss his TIA.
Some of the time people don't take it seriously enough, but many times the doctors don't.
Best wishes to your Father.
You may want to ask the doctor, whether he should be taking some aspirin, or higher doses of aspirin in the meantime, even while they are doing the tests and getting the results.
