TIA at 53

[Soulie123]

Hi all new to this website and looking for support and answers. Had a TIA at 53 which came as a complete shock and still waiting for something to show up on the normal results of blood, MRI and ECG test. 4 weeks down the line and still no further on and scared I may have another attack. Whilst googling to find out what had happened to me I came across Hughes syndrome and the symptoms rang bells with me. Prior to my TIA I had been experiencing tinnitus in my ear for over 12 months and experiencing joint stiffness in my hips toes and fingers. Also memory fog and a headache that lasted 2 weeks solid and still continue after my attack. Very scared at the moment with no answers and need to get on with living my life .
