Transient ischaemic attacks and mild strokes
A guide for patients and carers
Conclusion
Clearly there are many issues that we have been unable to cover in this article. If you have any outstanding concerns or questions then you should discuss these with either your GP or the specialist looking after you. It is very easy, even with information like this, to come away with the wrong impression, so don’t be afraid to ask questions. No one should feel embarrassed about asking to go over the same ground again just to be sure they have understood correctly.
In the next section there is a list of other organisations which may be able to provide further help or information.
Remember, if you have any other questions or concerns, ask your GP or specialist to discuss them with you.
