I just got out of the hospital with TIA. My husband and i were on the army base at the px. He looked at me and asked me if i was ok and i asked him why? He said the left side of my face was drooping a little. I told him i felt strange, i had pain in the lower left side of my head and my face felt funny to touch it. Then my eye started rolling up in my head only the left eye and kept on constantly blinking. By the time i reached the hospital i had a full blown mini stroke. i had echo grams, and ekgs, and mri and cat scan. Now i can hardly talk or see out of my left eye or side of my face. But good news is this will pass and i will be pretty much normal. unfortunately, most who have mini strokes will go on to have full blown strokes and possibly die if life style changes are not made. i quit smoking immediately. Full blown strokes are resulted from blood entering the brain and most paralysis is final. But with TIA, it is a preclusive warning of what will come if you don't change diet, exercise and quit smoking like yesterday. You know your body better than anyone even a dr. so if you feel weird. Don't chance it people get to the E.R. like yesterday.
