Anyone ever have a TIA? (mini stroke)

I had one at a store on Thursday. All of a sudden none of my words, thoughts or speech made sense. Went to CS had them call the ambulance, rushed to ER got the CT, MRI/MRA carotid US and Echo. It resolved within a few hours but now I'm on Aggrenox to help prevent another one or a full blown stroke. That was some crazy stuff that happened I can't even explain it! And even more strange because I have zero risk factors. All this made worse by the fact that I am a Stroke/Neuro RN and take care of these patients daily! Plus I'm only in my 40's. Never say never! Still have a lingering headache and am exhausted as my brain attempts to reset itself. Just curious about others experiences.
