Mini stroke that I had

My neurologist upped my blood thinner 50 mgs and I will have to go back to see her after an MRI is done.

How do you feel cosmic. Do you feel alright? Why the delay in MRI?

 

The MRI place had a booked day today or I would have gone today. Tomorrow was the earliest. I really haven't felt that bad except for my being crotchety which is normal anyway since the stroke , thanks for asking.

cosmic can i ask why they are giving you an MRI rather than an angiogram?

 

Because he had a TIA?

 

exactly my point, they need to check for blockages in the blood vessals which is done by angogram

 

SAM you had me worried there that the procidure had a different name when not heart related but i was correct

by definition a TIA is ISCHEMIC not Hemorrhagic which means its caused by a blockage. If you want to know where that blockage is that means an angiograph not an MRI which will show up bleeding

 

I may be mistaken but I think intracranial bleed is a priority. I know my friend had an MRI immediately after her stroke. But she was young [42] so it may depend on other factors.

 

your right that heamoragic stroke is the most common form but he said it was a TIA not a stroke. There for its ischemic not heamoragic. I surpose you COULD get TIA like symptoms from a small bleed in the brain but i have never herd of it being releved which is the definition of a TIA (it has to be TRANSIANT), if its a small bleed either you wont have ANY symptoms or those symptioms wont go away because once the blood is there, its not going away in a hurry

 

Just checking it's as soon as possible.

You'll have to let us all know if anything shows up, all the best cosmic.

EDIT: Asguard has a point, have you had an angiogram? I thought that was standard for all things like this. :shrug:

 

cosmic, you are a very good person. I was very fortunate to know you.

 

Because the angiogram was done today at the hospital.

 

Thank you, and it is a pleasure to know you as well.

How was your MRI? Was it scary? I remember when my friend had one, she felt terribly claustrophobic.

 

SAM when I did my CAT scan a year ago, it was very scary, I dont think it was claustrophobia thou...in fact I do not think anyone who gets scared while doing MRI is actually claustrophobic, the reason behind their hallucinations or fear during MRI is because the doctors put a plastic frame on a head which is extremely tight (extremely) for the purpose of keeping the patients head in one position...however that frame squeezes the skull of the patient and constructs blood flow, which results in the experiences of people doing MRI.
