Question Title: Possible TIA??Forum: Neurology Forum
| ||||
I have had 2 episodes of the following: off ballance, cannot focus properly, slurred speech, very sharp headache type pain behind right eye. these last 5 to 10 minutes. I have hardly never had headaches of any kind , and my blood pressure during these episodes has been 120/77 and 150/90. I suffered a fall off a ladder 5 months ago and received a hard blow to the head (untreated) the fall did not render me unconsious. I am 58 years old and i do not drink or smoke and I work out daily. Thank you Ron-L
Thanks for your question. The symptoms described in your message can be a consequence of a TIA, although focal, sharp pain is not a common symptom described by patients. The fact that you also had an "uninvestigated" head trauma is also of concern. I recommend that you make an appointment with a neurologist and have a thorough neurological evaluation. I hope this information is helpful. This information is provided for general medical education purposes only.
