General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

If it was mini-stroke or TIA, you have to start aspirin 75 mg daily and other medications like Atorvastatin, Enalapril as per neurologist’s advice.

Already affected part can be normalized by physiotherapy exercise and by your strong will power. Physiotherapy will help you to gain your muscle strength back.

For perfect diagnosis, you require MRI brain, which will confirm the provisional diagnosis. So, better to get it done and consult other neurophysician or MD physician as soon as possible.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Hiren Hirpara
