Question: Any doctors out there know of these symptoms!?
Hi
I am a 42 year old female and i have had a weird mini stroke type thing!. It happened first when i was 16 then again in my early twenties and then in my early thirties and again now!. So 4 episodes in total!. There didnt seem to be any particular trigger(except the last two tmes happened while i was having sex)!
These are the symptoms:- Loss of use of my right arm and leg, loss of speech and the left side of my face visibly sagged!.
The symptoms all come on at the same time but only last a few seconds and afterwards i'm fine!.
I had a brain scan that showed nothing that would suggest a stroke but if not strokes then what on earth are they!?
The head doctor said i was a cunundrum and to come back when it happened again!. No diagnosis to offer!.
I'm so worried they might lead to full blown strokes in the future!.
Any ideas, also should i go for a second opinion!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Now a TIA is an obvious conclusion from what you are describing, however if you have been through hospital and seen a 'head doctor' then he would have thought of that too, and must have decided it is not that for some reason!. There's no harm in getting a second opinion, or asking why they don't think you are having strokes!.
But, if you want to specifically speak to a doctor then go and speak to one!. This is a lay persons advice forum!. An 'internet' doctor can not help you more than the real ones that you have seen!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

there called TIA (Transient Ischemic Attacks) if thats what you were really having and it's always a indicator that your gonna have a big one if you don't change your lifestyle, or if your body just has a problem!.a TIA is also called a Pin Stroke or mini stroke or whatever ya wanna call it, but its basically a full on stroke that begins to block of part of a vessel and starve your brain, but it some how becomes cleared and bloodflow is restored!. And depending on the brain scan, I'm not too sure if MRI's can detect a blockage, but i know a CT scan only checks to make sure your not bleeding out!.!.!.otherwise you would be dead already!. But yea!.!.!.you need to seek another doctor and get multiple opinions before its too late!. If you really arent on the other hand!.!.!.then F, I dont know!. stop having sex!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
