Dave's mini-stroke story

[@USMC_BABE38]

hi Dave my dad's name is Dave also I'm an care giver for some one who had an brain hemorrhage when she was 40 she is the most loving caring person in the world I consider her my other mom . She lives a full life and she has an hard time expressing herself you are an inspiration to millions thanks for sharing your story

[@Northern-Sounds]

I just had a TIA last week. I am very frightened of having another or a full blown stroke. Fortunately I aren't living alone: how dreadful must it be for those who are, also I am only 53 so imagine being 63, 73, 83... Please heed the warnings if you are reading this. ❤

I had a TIA 2 weeks ago and I'm only 39 with an athletic build. Feeling fine now. Just a little brain fog and fatigue. I'm back into the gym daily but half my usual intensity. Doing a lot of brisk walking, but no running for now. Dr said just take baby aspirin daily until my next follow up appointment in 3 months. Tests show no current blockage in any arteries, so nothing further for the doctors to do at this point . Just hoping that it doesn't happen again

[@Northern-Sounds]

@@thomasorchard I hope you stay well. 🤗

[@thomasorchard]

@Northern-Sounds Thanks... just hoping this brain fog and fatigue goes away eventually

[@Northern-Sounds]

@@thomasorchard I hope so too. I know just how it feels. 🤗

[@thomasorchard]

@@Northern-Sounds Did your brain fog and fatigue go away? Or at least improved?

[@OldTimerGarden]

I had several TIA's and after many tests to find out why, the discovered my right carotid artery in my neck was blocked 80- 98%. I had surgery to remove the blockage and so far it's worked good.

[@sdol2348]

I'm having an ultrasound for my cartoid artery on Thursday. Had a TIA last Wednesday and suspect it's that. Hope you are going along ok 😊

Yet here he is, fully recovered from a major stroke? No slurring, able to walk, able to see.

This is why I don't take work too seriously. I could die at any moment.

I changed jobs to a lighter one, it helps.

my ER told me I was nerved up turned off the lights and left me inthe dark ....they never admit anything...

[@ThebirdmanTrainer]

Can they see tia damage in an MRI?

[@bftigdd]

Yes they can in MRI ... and MRI with contrast and even with a CT scan but MRI imaging is much clearer and accurate

[@luisrosales9349]

TIA no but a full on stroke yes

[@bftigdd]

@@luisrosales9349 tia shows on ct scan and mri ..... i am not sure why you give false information

[@tomasaldente2622]

Yes, I had a TIA and it showed up on my MRI.

[@moss320m]

@@bftigdd Actually it DOESNT always show up on the scans. Speaking from someone who just had their first TIA last week! Mental confusion, mixed up word still there.

[@Hippymags]

I have had 2 possibly 3 TIA`s, first I was told it was caused by AF, then cardiologist said they now don't think I have AF, so I have asked several times if they can find out why I had the TIA`s , But I am told no

How are you now??thanks 🙏

Sorry to hear about this and hoping you continue on your recovery journey which I know is hard and long long but never give up. I am a neuro physiotherapist and I had a TIA 2 yrs ago following AstraZeneca Covid vaccination but doctors denied that was the cause yet they could not find out why I had it! Because I worked with stroke patients, I was fully aware of what I needed to do even probing for certain tests to be done eg. eye tests with optometrists which I had not been referred to…it is sad that certain things may get overlooked. I quit my stressful job at 55 to help improve my health and I now work in a junior role but more on a self employed role. I agree life and health comes and I am now on lifetime medication to help reduce chances of another stroke. I had a very good consultant who sat me down an told me to slow down as this could happen in a year, or 3 yrs or 5 yrs or 10yrs. Adjusting foods and increasing exercises to maintain health, education is very important. I love your interview, it was educating and warning at the same time. Speedy recovery, you have a loving and supportive wife there! 🌻

[@jamq3815]

How did they confirm the TIA?

[@elizabethc9843]

@@jamq3815 MRI confirmed it. I had scan first which didn’t pick up anything but the MRI was done the following morning and I had already started treatment for the clot.

His hand is trembling in the video, is that nervousness or an affect of the stroke?
