TIA/TIA Symptoms Caused By Herbals?

[dvx]

Recently I experienced rapid onset intense numbness in my entire right leg, followed a few minutes later by moderate numbness in the right side of my face. The entire eposide lasted barely 10 minutes. No other symptoms/deficits. ER CT/bloods+follow-up MRI,MRA were negative. For about a year I have been taking the following in addition to multi-vite+fish oil+calcium+
COQ-10. Might any of them or combination induce the above symptoms; or could impurities in any of them do so? Thank you.

N-Aceytl Cystine  650 mg

7 Keto DHEA   25 mg

Maitake Mushroom  450 mg/30mg standardized extract

Rhodioloa   150 mg/to 3% Rosavins

Black Currant Oil 535 mg to 80mg GLA

Turmeric extract to 280 mg curcumin+100mg whole

Astragalus         470mg

Yours symptoms do sound suspicious for a TIA, and this should be evaluated and followed. Your risk factors for atherosclerosis should be looked in to like diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol and avoid smoking, exercise and eat well.

The cause is not likely to be due to herbal medications and more likely to be due to intrinsic atherosclerotic disease in you r body.

DHEA and acetyl cysteine are thought but not proven to be protective against stroke/TIA. An extract from Matiake mushrooms is postulated to be protective against cancer, but no reports I found of TIA. Rhodiola is not associated with stroke/TIA, but is thought to improve exercise endurance, whether this could put more stress on a person already prone to stroke is not clear.

Blackcurrent oil is not associted with stroke and has been tried as  a nutrition supplement in patients recovering from stroke ( as a source of omega-3 oils). Turmeric extraxt is thought to be an antioxidant (and therefore not assocaited with stroke) and astragalus is though tto be a neuroprotectant

all the above postulated effect are scientifically unproven and their postulated effects must be taken cautiously

Good luck
