Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi hospitalized with headaches

The Patriots linebacker had partial vision loss and paralysis from the news reports. Apparently now he is up walking and talking. This sounds like a transient ischemic attack to me.

Update:
They have reported that he may have “broke a blood vessel in his head“. The paralysis has gone.

Sounds more like an opthalmic migraine or an atypical migraine. Most TIAs etc are without headache. They probably did an LP — now he will have a spinal headache!!

Just what does this mean for a young football player to have a possible TIA?

Will this affect his career or what?
