Hi, Ron, I'm just getting to read your posts. One thing that you stated jumped out at me - wherein you asked if you're headed for a full blown or major stroke.

TIAs can be, but are not necessarily, a precursor.

As long as you are doing as you have been, and remain as vigilant, and your doctors do so as well, the odds will be in your favor.

I had my first TIA a few years ago. Granted, I'm not 62, yet I did have many of the same thoughts and feelings you've been experiencing.

I do want to thank you for having posted insights and info. you've attained; it rings so true, in that, for many, the cause is not known.

I took a medication, and... next thing? It felt as if a freight train was rammed through my brain, and I couldn't speak or move. My primary care doc, initially, said, it was a 1 in 1 million adverse reaction. My cardiologist, however, said it was a TIA, as did my neurologist.

I know how the anxiety feels, too, whenever similiar effects surface. It evokes the fear of: again?
