[|Human|] two days ago I had an incident that the hospital called a TIA but my symtoms werent much like those I have read about.  I have a four hour block where I remember nothing.  But I was consicious and asking my family strange questions.  like what is the date?  Basically the questions were about things that I know the answer to....The family said I did not slur my words and that my eyes looked fine and I acted like myself but asked these weird questions and Ido not remember talking to them.  After the four hrs I was examined at the hospital and had a CT and a Doppler test.  Everything looked normal.  Do you think I had a TIA?r
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Yes, I agree with your doctors that you had a TIA. To be more precise, you had a type of TIA, which is called as TGA, transient global amnesia. In TGA, the person has amnesia and forgets many events, which explains your asking weird questions at that time. MRI brain would be useful in picking up small infarcts (blood clots) on the left side of your brain. Also, the risk factors should be screened for and treated, such as diabetes, high BP, cholesterol, etc. I hope you are on aspirin and statins to prevent the recurrence of TIA or a stroke. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
