Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.


I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.
I reviewed your history.
These symptoms indicate transient ischemic attack and requires evaluation to find out the underlying causes.
Since you are taking medicines for cholesterol we need to rule out causes like atherosclerosis, vascular disorders...

Hence I advice you to consult your physician doctor for evlauation of lipid profile, carotid artery doppler, electrocardiogram and cardiac evaluation.

The essential thing in your case is to find out the underlying cause and treat it to prevent any complications. Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for evaluation and do write back to me with the examination reports.

Hope this information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
