A member asked:
Had tia symptoms at 60 then went 30 years till a stroke. did i beat the odds or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could be: The risk of having a stroke within one year after a TIA is very high, about 25%. So, if you really had a TIA 30 years ago, then i would say yes you are very lucky.
