Multiple TIAs

[Wonda316]

I suffered a traumatic blow to the left side of my head approximately 4 years ago.  I have since had 2 TIAs (one in 9-07 and the other this past week).  After the first incident I had left sided weakness in my upper extremity only; however, after this seconded incident, I have weakness in the upper and lower extremities to the point of being on a walker.  There was no change apparent via CT scan or MRI after either occurrence.  Is it possible that I am having cerebral spasms?  I have already been diagnosed with severe coronary spasms (I had to be shocked during one episode).

Thank you for responding to my question.  I am suffering with severe causes of emesis today; however, I will definitely take your advice to heart.

Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), Some consider this a mini-stroke. The most common cause is due to a tiny blood clot.
So this may not be apparent on CT/MRI but your symptoms are due to these TIAs.
You have to keep your blood pressure in normal range. Lead a healthy life style and take a balanced diet. You diet should contain restricted salt intake and very low cholesterol and TIA may be a precursor of a bigger stroke in the future.
Smoking and alcohol should be stopped and you have to lead a stressless life.
Take care!
