title: Ask the doctor. For the last few years, I have been experiencing what I think are mini-strokes. The first time it happened, I lost the sight in one eye for about a minutes. Sometimes the vision in both eyes gets blurred for a few minutes. A few weeks ago I could not think of the word "battery" while talking with a friend. Otherwise, I am a healthy 77-year-old who exercises, isn't overweight, and doesn't smoke. My doctor hasn't suggested any tests of courses of action. Can you?
