Twitching
Lately i have been having pressure on the left side of my head i also feel dizzy and have chest pains. I went for a EKG EGG and a CT scan everyhting was normal. The doc said the chest pain was from a inflamation and the pressure could be anxity. But i disagree, i also have twitching it started in my toe and then moved to my leg then to my left arm. I also have black dots in my vision. Any help is reasureing.
Hi Sheldon,
Your symptomatology suggest that you might have suffered or suffering from TIA involving right MCA. You have done CT scan already, which is reported normal. I feel if your symptoms are suggestive, if there is positive clinical examination and there high suspicion of TIA by your PCP, then I think you should be started on Aspirin. CT scan always does not detect a bleed or clot. Investigations like CBC, PT/PTT needs to be done to evaluate the etiology of TIA. There is always a 10% risk of suffering a stroke in next 90 days if you have suffered TIA.
Hope this helps.
Bye.
