Hi!

It's frightening to think you are having a TIA or stroke. You did the right thing to call your doctor.

I had a stroke at the age of 19 because of a blood clotting disorder. That was some 25 years ago, and it was not picked up. I had another series of small strokes 4 years ago, and that's when they found my problem. It took a while for me to recover.

I was on blood thinners for a while then changed to daily 325mg aspirin.

Do not try any regimen without consulting your doctor.

You would only be grounded from driving if you were 'confirmed' to have had a stroke....depending on the State law. My license was taken, but I didn't drive anyway because I have vertigo. I kept it current for ID.

It is a good sign that you didn't have any facial drooping or slurring of speech.

I hope things turn out the best for you! It's hard not to worry.
