Mini Stroke Post Heart Attack

[ROBBO36]

Hi folks

Was just wondering if this has happened to anyone? I’ve had a couple of “funny turns” recently and a particularly bad one on Thursday evening which ironically was exactly one year to the day since my HA.

Ended up in A&E all night getting various tests. ECG, bloods x 2 (initial troponin high but then fine) , chest X-ray and a brain scan. All inconclusive to what had happened but appeared to be a seizure of some sort. Back to hospital today seeing a neurologist and stroke specialist who confirmed it wasn’t a seizure, but a transient ischemic attack (TIA or “mini-stroke”) . Bit of a shock but apparently at risk post HA.

Just interested if anyone on the forum had suffered similar?

Thanks.

sorry to hear this.

Are you anticoagulated if appropriate and with BP under control? Try and stay as fit as possible
