I was at work in July 2014 when my whole vision went grey. I couldn't see for about 10-15 seconds. When my vision returned I felt like my head had been punched several times by Mike Tyson.
After 2 days and many trips to the doctors having being diagnosed with a bad migraine. I was finally sent to the hospital. They cat scanned me and found nothing.
After about a week I noticed that I had a blind spot in my vision. Again after several trips to the doctors they referred me back to the hospital where I was eventually seen by a specialist who recommended a mri scan.
After a few weeks went passed a letter came through the post to say that the scan had come back as normal. This is now oct 2014. Fast forward to Feb 2016 where again I was at work when I had a seizure.
I ended up in Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge who cat scanned me again to find that I had had a stroke. BUT the specialist this time told me that the stroke was up to 2 years old and that the seizure was a direct result of the stroke.
I have had a 24 hour heart monitor. Echocardiogram and cat scan with the colourful liquid they pump in and found nothing really wrong. I am on anti seizure, blood thinning and cholesterol tablets. I have lost my driving license for 12 months.
I am now awaiting to go back into Addenbrooke's on Friday 13th to have a bubble echo and a scan of the heart from the inside where I believe I will swallow a probe. Nice.
