I had what they think was a TIA last Friday, I have had the most amazing Anxiety attacks as well, I feel giddy on and off, I have been put on clopidogrel and vastatin, the Cat scan showed a stroke, the test on neck showed no blockages, So I am awaiting MRI, I think I will need sedating for that, whilst waiting to have my neck done on Monday, I thought I was going to choke on my tongue with nerves and had to lay down because I thought I was going to faint, What a blubbering wreck, I'm 52 and smoke, drink, and stress for England, But still every morning the left side of my face goes numb, has any one else had this

    I would wait to see what the scan comes up with, and then take it from there, but as everyone say's smoking does not help :-/
