I'm a 60 year old male, I have been diagnosed with vasculitus mostly affecting my organs. Last monday I work up normally, fed the cat and dog and made a cup of tea, then went to read my email. I found that I couldn't read the words at all, when I tried to pronounce then out loud it came out as s's or all hissing sounds. This persisted for about 1/2 hour.
45 minutes later my wife awoke and I told her what had happened, I was reading and speaking normally.
My doctor confirmed it was a tia but seemed unconcerned about the elevated risk of stroke. Is my risk higher now because of the tia?
Thank you.
