Brief Answer:
Should continue ASPIRIN with Statin. Risk factors to address.

Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar, a neurologist, here to answer your query.

As MRI has come back normal, it is definitely not a stroke. Nothing active is to be done for a TIA. However, since a TIA increases the risk for future stroke, so medicines (aspirin plus statin) must be continued and risk factors- like high cholesterol levels, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, heart problems-should be screened for and addressed efficiently. That's the best you can do at present. Heaviness of your face and dullness of fingertips should improve soon.

Hope that I have answered your query. If you have some further questions, I shall be glad to have you in my follow-up or else please close the thread, rate it and write a review.
