Episode Of Jumbling Words. History Of Migraines. ECG Normal. Concerned About TIA Chances
Hi,
My wife aged 38 had a episode of jumbling her words for about 15 mins which we thought was a TIA about 4 days ago. She exercises regularly does not smoke or drink.
She was taken to A and E and had a ECG plus a ct scan all looked clear.
We went to see a specialist and after explaining her history of migraine he suggested it was more lightly to be an aura migraine.
We failed to mention that she had been also experiencing a light wooshing in her left ear on and off for around a year which we had put down to a sinus problem and it has started again today. Is this something associated with TIA or migraine. She will be getting a MRI in around 1 week. She is taking 300mgs of aspirin since the episode. Is she in any immediate danger.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
The symptoms are more likely to be due to TIA, rather than migraine.
MRI and MR angiogram would further clarify the issue.
There is no immediate danger, as she is already on Aspirin.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
