TIA

Hello am I just being a worry wart ? , about 6 years ago I had some tiny dots in my eyesight and was told I’d had a TIA , no other symptoms at all .

Since then I’ve had a few things health wise and had loads of tests on my heart which are all good ….but my balance is like I’m at sea sometimes and every now and then I see one of those specks ( not floaters ) but I can’t run to the hospital every 5 mins it’s a bit like the boy who cried wolf ………..tell me I’m just looking for things 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi hazel. Regarding the specks you see Have you thought of going for a eye test at the opticians.? They perform a eye pressure test and field test at same time. 👍

Hi there, I too have had balance problems and I mentioned it to my cardiac rehab nurse who told me to increase my water intake. Not just increase tea or coffee because they act as diuretics and make the problem worse, but water. Since doing so my balance problem has gone away. Try it. Best wishes.
