Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for your question and for finding EmpowHER. I'm sorry you are having to deal with this condition. I found on the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke web site on Transient Ischemic Attack (mini stroke) page:
"Because there is no way to tell whether symptoms are from a TIA or an acute stroke, patients should assume that all stroke-like symptoms signal an emergency and should not wait to see if they go away. A prompt evaluation (within 60 minutes) is necessary to identify the cause of the TIA and determine appropriate therapy. ...The use of antiplatelet agents, particularly aspirin, is a standard treatment for patients at risk for stroke. People with atrial fibrillation (irregular beating of the heart) may be prescribed anticoagulants."
Here is the web page for your information:

I'm not sure that is the information you were looking for--if you meant ocular (or retinal) migraine, let me know and I'll forward that information. Please let us know if we can help you more.
warmest regards,
-Christine
