Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

Your symptoms could be related to a new TIA. For this reason, I would recommend performing further tests to investigate for the possible causes, underlying the repeated TIA:

- a Doppler ultrasound of the carotid arteries
- a brain MRI
- a cardiac ultrasound
- blood lipid profile for dyslipidemia
- fasting glucose and HbA1C levels for diabetes
- a cardiac rhythm Holter monitoring to investigate for cardiac arrhythmia.

A blood thinner may be needed for the prevention of stroke, considering your repeated TIA.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
