Joe,

Take it easy, I too know the effects of a stroke as I had a mini one some time ago which was then reduced to a transient ischaemiac attack (TIA)caused by stress, on examination in hospital and was warned then that I was a candidate for a proper stroke. I had to "have the incident" at the weekend to get seen then.
I collapsed in town yesterday and was taken to my Doc but she showed little concern saying that "it was all in the mind" even tho' my BP has been a little high (max 180/90) and my left arm cold since my TIA. I have also had no record-able pulse or BP in that arm for 6 years following a bypass graft but then that was initially described as due "to the way I sat" by a few local doctors and so lead to my 1st "incident at a weekend" in order to get seen by a cardiologist.

I am glad for you that the Scottish NHS is better than the welsh version but then I am in Abertawe Bro Morgannwg and was at the meeting in the article but that didn't help my BP mad

I think I may "have yet another incident" at the weekend to get seen in hospital or I may go to a Vet to see if I can get treatment, too old to worry about being neutered LOL!

Meanwhile I take a dose of BIAB 3 times a day and that helps laugh
