    It must depend on which Hospital you were taken to. I had a stroke 3 years ago, was diagnosed left side stroke. Had a scan and an MRI. The Consultant showed me the results and explained the impact. Was kept in for 3 weeks . Consultant and nurses were brilliant. Since being discharged with medication - Warfarin, BP medication and I was already taking beta blockers. My cholestorol was 6.2 and the consultant told me that was OK. My Dr subsequently put me on statins, which I have now stopped as levels are fine and I don't want to take unnecessary drugs.

    My memory is my biggest issue, along with panic attacks as I have had 4 ? TIA's since. Used to go to A&E as I blacked out each time, but as they didn't do anything, I stay at home and rest until feeling better. If I can help in any way, please let me know.

    I forgot to mention, I too have constant buzzing in the ears/head. It is quite debilitating. My Dr sent me to local ENT dept. and they performed a standard hearing test, very helpful? as I don't have a problem with my hearing. Do you have balance problems and feel like you're going to fall over? 

    I also have problem with sense of direction and was terrified of getting lost. Like you I have recently started driving again, just locally in our village.  

    I also have problems with my eyes, somedays they become quite droopy (right) but that goes off.

      Hi Pauline, yes going to the hospital is a waste of time, I had to call an ambulance on thursday as I felt really unwell, with numbness and chest pains but by the time I saw the stroke nurse , some 6 hours later the symptoms has gone and she treat me like a time waster, really horrible person, then sent me home.xx
