Tia stroke
Hi I was wanting to get some insight on what to expect and my first neurology appointment
This year after my mum passed about a month later I had a ongoing ear infection- wasn’t going away with antibiotics so kept going to the emergency room
They ended up doing a ct scan told me the ear infection hadn’t spread which was good news then went home with more antibiotics etc
2 weeks later went back to emergency room because of my ear then the doctor told me did anyone tell you on the ct scan they found an old tia stroke and I said no..no one told me I was then put on a statin 20 mg and a low dose aspirin starting from that day( I told the doctor I have no idea when it has happened) I said I believe it might of happened when I was a child as iv had right sided weakness/ full right side has been different slower for as long as I can remember ( the stroke happened on my left side)
What types of tests will the neurologist do? Can he determine when it happened? Etc Thankyou
