A year ago I had surgery for a large aneurysm behind my eye they tried to stent and coil it but was unsuccessful. After the procedure is had a mini stroke and recovered very fast. After another operation I had a balloon occlusion and coil embolisation and now aneurysm is OK. That was 10month ago. Last week I was on holiday in Spain and I got a really bad head then my mouth drooped on my left side but no speech or arm symptoms do you think this could be a little tia don't want to bother doctor

    Personally, I would mention it ot my GP. TIA take all forms, not everyone experiences the classic symptoms.

    Do bother the doctor, that's what they're there for and you don't want to take any risks. They may adjust your medication or do a scan but better to be checked over and explain what you just put on this forum than have a stroke that is life changing! Good luck

    I've had subarachnoid haemorrhage, from an aneurysm just above my cerebellum, if I'd had the symptoms you're describing, I'd go, immediately, to A&E (ER, if you're in North America). The potential risks are just too great, to chance.

    I hope that it turns out to be something trivial, either way, take care.
