Hi David,
If you’re unhappy with your GP I would suggest you get a second opinion. Unfortunately, we are unable recommend specific medical or health professionals. Have you got a friend or family member who could recommend a good GP? Or perhaps your pharmacist could suggest someone locally?
I wouldn’t have thought an ongoing headache after TIA would be the norm. Fatigue, perhaps. Have you had a CT or MRI scan to rule out a stroke? Are you under stress at the moment? Dehydrated? Started on any new medications that could have side effects?
If you’ve had a small stroke (as opposed to a TIA – there is a difference) and this showed up on a brain scan then yes headache and fatigue could occur. Usually with a TIA you see all symptoms resolve within 24 hours though.
If you would like to call to discuss that might be easier and more helpful? Our number is 1800 787 653 Mon-Fri 9-5pm.
