Thanks. The tests the doctor took were for my heart, thyroid, etc., etc. Everything looked fine. I never thought of a neurologist, but I think now that I probably just need sleep... lol... insomniac here.
Another thing I was reading is that it could be migraines that just don't generate pain.
I'm guessing it would be much harder for any of us to recognize a true TIA because those symptoms listed could indicate anything.
It can't hurt to get some tests done. The fact that your grandmother had two strokes is enough reason to find out for sure. Did you read my post #20 with the description my mother-in-law gave? Any way, do it for your own peace of mind.
As I said, I like to eliminate the worst, then you can relax and work your way through the less serious possibilities.
Since you had these for years, it's most likely not TIA, but neurologists deal with migraines as well and they are more likely to be able to assess it and eliminate or confirm possibilities of what causes them.
I think it would be a good idea for you to go to a neurologist and just make sure.
The low blood pressure is certainly a possibility, but I wouldn't just assume that's what it is, without ruling out other more serious possibilities, just to err on the side of caution.
"I never thought of a neurologist, but I think now that I probably just need sleep... lol... insomniac here."
I'd like to second - or third - the opinion that you go to a neurologist. Losing your vision is not normal and while it could be ocular migraine or low blood pressure, you're not qualified to decide that. Your gp, having not found the source of the problem, should've referred you to a neurologist. In the meantime, get your eyes checked if you haven't already done so.
"Another thing I was reading is that it could be migraines that just don't generate pain."
Do you see anything in the time preceding the loss of vision, like little flashes of light? That's usually a clue.
