Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.

I have noted your clinical details. Once you receive your CT scan report, please upload that.

CT scan may come as normal in ischemic stroke. In that case, please get MRI with MR Angiogram done.

Also get screened for risk factors such as high BP, sugar or cholesterol.

As of now, please continue aspirin.

I sincerely hope my reply has helped you.
