Had both as above after a TIA. Did not like the CAT scan MRI was nothing to me.
Were the mini strokes like one eye was twitching bad for a few minutes/seconds causing dizziness and nausea then gradually stopped?Unfortunately I've had a few in the last couple of years. Doctors can't decide if they are TIAs which are mini strokes or seizures.
IThe full tube MRI does not bother me
I usually go to sleep and they woke me up after I came out.
No I lost feeling in my right side and then could not form words.Were the mini strokes like one eye was twitching bad for a few minutes/seconds causing dizziness and nausea then gradually stopped?
Right after I had a series of those episodes within a period of months, my vision worsened and no matter what Rx the eye doctor tried nothing worked until I told him I could see 7 to 9 dots of light in one eye and 8 to 9 in the other. He tried prismatic lenses and wow, did that ever make a difference! He said, "You have had some small strokes and didn't know it." I then described what happened and he confirmed it.
About two years ago, I was taking a shower and realized I had a very sharp pain in my chest just left of my solar plexus, and I didn't feel very good. So went to the emergency room, they ran a bunch of tests and couldn't find a cause. The ER doc finally said, "I guess we could do a cat scan and rule out blood clots in your lungs. I don't think it will show anything, but sometimes we get surprised. That would be about everything we can check."Funny this thread should pop up, going on for a CT scan next Thursday. Have no idea what it might prove or disprove, doc still looking for what might be the reason I have no energy.
Had a TIA a few months back and ct scan didn’t show anything. Doc put me on baby aspirin. So far haven’t had another one.Unfortunately I've had a few in the last couple of years. Doctors can't decide if they are TIAs which are mini strokes or seizures.
