My daughter who is 19 years old was already on aspirin since after her first heart operation when she was only two months old baby. But last April,January, now in last week weeks she had 2 more TIA attacks. Recently they did MRI eventually and diagnosed TIA. just few days ago they replace aspirin with Warfarin.😢

I had neck ultrasound so I hope they are correct when saying it was normal if it's not as good as CT. 😟

[@Morphysince94]

please somebody help. one of my family is affected by this. After the attack lasted for 2 to 3 min, we seek medical attention within 15 minutes and our doctor started treatment within 2 hours, mainly by medication. He didn't gave us tpa injection. What can we do as a family to keep the risk at minimum at all times? what are our options within the next 2 - 7 days? 🙏🙏🙏 somebody help
