I had my first ?Tia back in July 2014 which affected my right side from head to foot, weakness, slurred speech and vision, I was then treated for this and stayed in hospital for 24 hours,Which I now get a numb patch on my right side of my face, which sort of comes and goes and is now concerning but I then had another TIA but my left side was affected this time, weakness, speech, vision, confusion. I had CT's MRI'S, dopler scans and seemed "normal", but this time i had to be thrombolised and addmitted to the Stroke unit for 24 hours. This really is starting to worry me, i am not seeing my consultant until 3/12, what else can I do? (please excuse any spelling, grammer mistakes)

      Hi Dan, yes you really should call them as it sounds like another TIA. Are you on any medication from your last one?

      I'm on aspirin until I go to the Tia clinic which should be any day soon, if it's another Tia it's not as bad as the last one

      Hi Sharon, I have the numbness on the right side of my face too :-/ it feels like i have had a local Anaesthetic​, and it has not returned to normal. so i might go and see my GP :-/ But i have been cleared of a stroke or TIA, which is good. My condition is called: Left sided weakness Acephalgic migraine, possible functional. So my Consultant Neurologist prescribed Epilim chrono (Anti Epileptic medication) and seems to be helping a lot! :-)
