Suffered A Pin Stroke, No Warning Signs, Was Quiet, Cant Remember Long Drive. Fully Recovered?
I suffered a pin stroke on 9/22. I was at a restaurant with my 2 oldest grandchildren (who were riding )with me. My youngest son and his wife children were there. I had no warning signs, but my son , daughter-in law did notice how quiet I was. I can't remember driving home 21 miles. My grandchildren told me later everything I did. One question is how can I tell if I'm fully recovered

Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this pin stroke. I hope by pin stroke you meant transient ischemic attack which is stroke that the client fully recovers from within 24hours.
The best way to tell whether you have fully recovered is if you have
no problem. If your have no worrisome symptoms right now, then it means you fully recovered.
The most important thing to do right now is to get consulted. A patient who has suffered a minor stroke would most likely have another in the near future if not well investigated. You would need to get consulted and investigated for the various risk factors of stroke which include blood disorders, heart and vascular problems, infections, cholesterol problems,etc. This would help identify the risk factors, address them and reduce your chances of having another stroke which may even be more concerning than the first.
I hope this addresses your query fully and provides ample information for you to act on. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask us more questions if need be. I wish you well.
