I had a scare my self and was in the hospital for three days all testwere normal followed up with the cardiologist. He said that I had smal vessel diease of the heart wich the angiogram wont pick up. He also said that I have diastolic CHF class 4 and perscribe a drug called ranexa so far working pretty good. I would follow up with an outside cardio doc as soon as possible.
I do have a follow-up appointment with the cardiologist who visited me in the hospital. I hope he'll prescribe a drug that can regulate my heartbeat. That will eliminate the probable cause of the TIA. I'd rather get to the root of the problem than having to use expensive and possibly damaging anticoagulants. I wouldn't mind popping baby aspirin every night if that will offer protection. I consider that pretty innocuous in comparison.
