Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am having strokes in both eyes. Both eyes are involved although the left eye is worse and glaucoma is developing there. My primary care doctor believes that the medication I take for high blood pressure is sufficient increased meds would not help. A carotid artery test indicated little plaque,so that is not the cause. I wonder what cause of TIAs that have plagued me for at least fifteen years now. What can I do?
Hello, Thanks for the query. Carotid artery plaques reduced the blood supply to the brain and it might be the reason for TIA. Consult a neurologist and get evaluated. Blood thinners like aspirin can be taken. Wishing all the best. Thanks
