Dear lybrate-user, understand the physiology and etiology behind the tia first. It occurs due to the blockage in the blood vessel supplying a particular part of the brain and the cause of blockage maybe the clot made from cholesterol or narrowing of the vessels. So instead of worrying for the next attack you have to make sure that you take your medicines properly on time and keep your mind fresh and positive. These attacks are possibly sudden and instantaneous as you may know. So it doesn't give you the time to think and regret. So don't be in the stress and phobia that when and where you might be facing this condition. Do regular exercises in fresh air have a healthy diet plan and lifestyle. Sleep early wake up early and forget it it is never gonna happen again. Best wishes.

Tia is a warning sign of stroke. So you have to worry but not that much. I understand about your phobia about getting again same problem but dear if you maintain yourself and take some precautions then chances are very less. Please make sure: 1. If you are overweight try to reduce. 2. Brisk walking daily for 30 minutes. 3. Cardiovascular exercises daily for endurance and strength and to make your heart fit. 4. Regular intake of excess water in your diet. 5. Avoid junk food, carbohydrates. 6. Take healthy diet that enrich you with proteins, vitamins. 7. If diabetic make sure sugar level should be maintained. 8. If hypertensive, make sure bp should not reach to too high or too low along with hr. 9. Avoid stressful life. 10. Meet some physio and learn daily exercises that will keep you fit and healthy along with some modification in your lifestyle. 11. Avoid fasting - eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at fixed timings. 12. Make yourself busy by fulfilling your hobby as it will give you freshness and your mind will be diverted from normal life. 13. Take min 7 hours of sleep. 14. Avoid taking caffeine, alcohol, phenylethylamine (found in chocolate and cheese), tyramine (found in nuts and fermented meats, cheeses, and soy), and aspartame (in many artificially sweetened foods) as sometimes these all exaggerate the condition. Instead use basil leaves tea or ginger tea boiled nicely in water without milk. Do not worry about getting tia / cva. If you keep yourself relax and avoid stress you will be healthy and then no disease no tia.
