Brief Answer:
Brain MRI needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
To evaluate/ exclude TIA is need to have a brain MRI done. ( DWI sequences)
This examination evaluates possible TIA-s in a +/- 42 days period, so I suggest you to discuss with your treating Doctor possibility of having brain MRI done.
After MRI done, if there is no TIA, other causes of your concerns should be evaluated. ( Migraine, etc.)
