    Reg, I'm assuming if you've been diagnosed with TIAs in the past that you are on some sort of medication such as aspirin but perhaps you need some additional medication, and I think the best person to contact for advice on this is your doctor.  Good luck.

    It would be a good idea to either see your GP or go to the TIA clinic, assuming that the staff there already have your notes.
