Got back from Doc. Told me not to cash in my 401K just yet.

Only thing that showed up on any of the test was a small amount of plaque, but not enough to be concerned about because my cholesterol and BP were good. Since they had me lay flat and the symptoms went away within 5 seconds that it was a very minor TIA event. Kinda like standing up too fast and getting dizzy. Said as far as all the work ups I was actually doing really well. In fact, in past 6 months have lost 20 lbs.

Put me on a statin to clear what little plaque there is. Having me take a 325mg aspirin daily to thin my blood. And start taking Pepper for a walk more often. Said that would put me way on the plus side of 50% living more than 10 years after a TIA.
