Risk factors
Hi gingernut,
My age is 69,
My only risk factor is that I am just within the 'obese' weight category,
The diagnosis was made by an ophthalmologist who was definite that the attack should be investigated, by people in some appropriate specialism, even after more than a year since the attack took place.
The attack lasted about ten minutes, was a one-off and occurred two years ago. It was not accompanied by weakness or any other symptom.
What are my ideas, concerns, expectations? I want to get an as accurate a diagnosis as possible from the appropriate person. My concern obviously is whether the attack was indeed a TIA and if so the prospects of having a stroke at some future time, not to mention the possible implications for my PPL. Expectations? I have none until I have better information.
The reason for my original post was to find out how similar cases had been treated by the CAA and the medical establishment.
Regards,
Broomstick.
