Go get the tests done! my mom had a mild stroke a couple years ago and she had alot of tests done and they found out she had a genetic defect in her blood that causes her to be at a high risk for clots and heart problems and all that. Shes been on medication now for it that is basicly a blood thinner. but because she found out what was causing it she can now change things in her diet to keep it from happening again along with the medication she should be fine. Turns out stuff like green veggies have alot of vitamin K in them that causes her blood to change and increase the chance of a stroke.

Go get the tests done find out whats going on. If you dont and it happens again and you have a worse stroke you will be wondering what the hell you were worried about money for when its your life at risk. So far you have been lucky dont push your luck. If you have another one and your still alive if its any worse you wont be able to work or cut your grass or bathe yourself or anything. A live in nurse for the rest of your life is alot more expensive then a few tests. Go get the tests done. Find a speicalist make sure its done right not just by some random quack. Your life isnt the place to cut corners to save money.

btw after my mom got tested and figured out what was going on with her we found out thats why my grandfather died so early and his mom died even earlier then he did. Turns out my sister and me both have the same problem only not as severe. We are both supposed to take 80mg of asprin a day. Nothin like being in my 20s and being at high risk of a stroke. If you have kids do it for there sake if not your own. you never know what they might find.
