A member asked:
Is there a definitive test that can determine whether a person has had a minor stroke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neuro- Exam/No test: There is no simple one test for stroke diagnosis. It will require you to have a neurological evaluation provided you have some/any neurological symptoms like dizziness, loss of consciousness, loss or change in vision and provided you are at risk for a stroke due to high BP or high cholesterol levels. If you are not sure, go see your family doctor or an internist.
