I took my DH to hospital the other week as he had developed what the hospital called ocular migraine and numbness and tingling on one side. Hospital confirmed minor stroke ? TIA. He had an MRI which revealed a small clot on the brain which is scary.We are both worried. Has a 24 hour tape atm and an ECG booked.

Any suggestions as to what could be done re the blood clot and the treatments involved? He is 69.

We're they able to disperse the clot or operate?

My mother-in-law had a TIA during lockdown. She has made a good recovery.

She takes Asprin now - but he may be given anticoagulants/ BP medication and statins.
The treatment is really to prevent a stroke in future.

Thinking of you both.
