Hi. I dont smoke, no history of migraines, not on Birth Control bills, I have low blood pressure and I am not overweight.

About 2 weeks ago It was discovered I had a TIA, actually my scan showed i have had at least 3. It started with nausea and dizziness then several minutes later I couldn't speak. I was home by myself with my 9 yr old son and 4 yr old daugher, my son knew something was wrong and he called my husband on my cell while I called 911 it took a few minutes to convey what my problem was but then I suddenly had my speech back. I went to the ER anyway where they did a CT SCAN and BW immediately. But it was another 3 hours before anybody talked me, nurses came in and checked on me but that was it. Then i had a very intense dizzy spell the room was spinning and became very nauseous and a vomitted quite a bit. Finally a dr came in said my CT was fine he gave me meclizine, toradal, and zofran. And said this may be vertigo, a few more hours went by and he said "yep seems like vertigo I think you can go home" my husband asked why couldn't she speak? We talked a bit more then dr said "no your being admitted and we are doing an MRI, echo, and caratid ultrasound.

A neurologist finally came in and did a consult he added a bubble study. Ultrasound of Caraids was normal, echo was inclusive because of my chest bones, and my MRI came back positive for Multiple TIA on both sides of the cerebellar hemispheres my right side showed a spot of 1cm.

Cardiologist decided to do a TEE since my echo was incomplete. I also had a ton of BW for hypercoagulability. TEE showed i have a PFO in my heart very small, they do not feel it needs to be closed at this time. My BW came back positive for Protein C deficiency. But the hematologist is ordering more BW because he doesn't feel like I have a true protein C def. (I have had several miscarriages in the past) He is looking for a Prothrombin gene mutation(factor II).

all of Neuro exams have been good I dont have any lose of function. I am on coumadin and aspirin. But feel so stuck because cardio thinks its a blood clotting issue not the PFO and hematologist thinks its the PFO and not the blood clotting issue.

I am switching moods between anger and just being scared. Angry because I dont understand why it happened, upset because it happen and mad no one can give me any answers. Also mad that ER didn't give me any kindd of aspirn I was left in a room for 3 hours. Mad my kids got the scar of a lifetime

I am freaked this will happen again freaked if it does it will be worse. Why did this happen/View Thread
