What is possibly Wrong?

[FGold]

My name is Fred...turned 30 years old last week, and im very concerned about possible TIA symptoms im having. The first episode was last summer and it was a heavy feeling in my left leg lasting about a week. Went away and came back during the winter this time including dizziness and left arm heavy feeling. Now i get them all the time .
   My PCP decided i should see a Neurologist, so i saw a Stroke specialist at NY Presbyterian . They did MRI w gandoluim. This was completley NORMAL. Doc seemed to laugh when i mentioned TIA .He said that If i was having the symptoms this often for this long the MRI would have shown something and also MRA was not needed since MRI was normal and he didnt want to put me thrugh an unnessecary Angiogram . No i know Doctors escpecailly specialists seem to laugh off younger paitents sometimes.
    So im asking you guys what else could cause unilateral limb heaviness come in episodes almost daily ..definetly weekly.....i saw on one website that TIAs can happen daily and this is serious so you see my concern Could anything else but a blockage cause TIA symptoms.i have 110/70 bp so thats not high.
    A doc once told me i had a positve adson manuver test could that mean something..im also hyperreflexive and there was a question of a babinski sign in left foot which doc said wasnt normal than basicaly said nothings wrong your a young guy.
    Anyway sorry for the lenth and i would like to hear some ideas have a great day

Whatever you do Fred don't ignore your symptoms, and your dr. should be ashamed at himself for laughing at you! As you can see from this forum, no matter what age you are you can still have TIA's or strokes for that matter and for whatever the reason.  Mine is complicated migraines.  My dr. laughed at me too, he said ..oh you worry too much!.... while I was lying in the hospital bed, my husband and I didn't think too much of that, what he doesn't know is, he is about to lose a patient.  He has about thrown his hands up anyway because he has told me time and time again, he does not understand why my body does this and he does not understand the difference between TIA's and complicated migraines.  My neuro does, however, but I am still changing drs.  I have found another dr. who does understand and does not laugh at me and goes to lengths that if he doesn't understand looks it up in the Medical Library at the hospital and comes back with answers.  Don't stop here Fred, keep searching, get a 2nd opinion, get a 3rd, opinion if you have to, you are way too young to stop before you get an answer to what your body is going through, it could very well be a TIA, if I understand it correctly TIA's don't show up on MRI's, my stroke did.  I was 50, I am now 52, that is still too young! I just had a 2nd episode something like yours and spent 3 days in the hospital a month ago today.  Keep searching, find answers!   I wish you well!  God Bless!  Keep me posted!
