Brief Answer:
Risk factors for stroke to be controlled
Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,
a TIA can indikate future stroke risk, therefor:
Your doc should control and check for risk factors for future stroke/ tia with you, which are:
arterial hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol and smoking. This could be: special healthy nutrtion plan (low fat, low carb), enough physical activity, if you smoke smoking stop programm, if necessary medication to control high cholesterol or diabetes. If you have high blood pressure there is also medication and above pointed out lifestyle adjustments further to be discussed to keep it in normal range. Please have your doc check you blood sugar again especially, since 130mg/dl without breakfast (no coffee/ sugar?) is too high (should be below 110) but the testing should be repeated.
That is what you and your doc should plan. Also some regular blood thinning medication as stroke prevention like aspirin should be discussed. The moderate lung expansion is nothing serious for now, but may be observed through your gp, smoking or asthma are possible causes.
Best regards

I guess all the good doctors think the same. That were exactly the advices that my family doctor gave me today. He is putting me on a cholesterol medication, and also aspirin 81 gm, three times a week even though I did have lots of stomach problems. He asked me to check my b/p for next week and blood sugar 2 hours after I eat and we will meet again next week to see if my condition improve or not. However, I like to exercise because it will help me to lower my blood pressure and may be cholesterol but my symptoms of dizziness and over all not feeling well prevent me to do so. I am still puzzle why i am so tired, like cement on my vein after I eat. I feel I could not function after I eat? any input on that. lastly, I forgot to mention to my doctor that I felt choking, felt like something are on my throat.
thanks,

Brief Answer:
Lighter meals advisable and mild exercise programm
Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,
according to your tiredness after meals you might want to try lighter meals and beginn with a mild exercise program like 20 minute walks. This can be a normal phenomenon of digestion to some extend.
About the choking: your gp might palpate your thyroid to see if it may be enlarged. Also a pharygo/ laryngoskopy through an ent doctor can rule out any throat inflammation or other problems that may cause the choking feeling.

Dear dr. Seckendorff:
I do not know how to exercise if I am feeling dizzy, however I will try.
Last night, my whole head is heavy and it was painful when I touch them. I hardly have headache, I wonder what is the cause of it. Also, I feel lots pressure in my eyes, especially after I eat.
