Many thx for your detailed response.  On the second occasion I went to ICU  by ambulance after a 000 call.  They did every test in the book,  but unfortunately /or fortunately  no cause was established. I quit driving from the time of stroke and take the following medication as prescribed:- Aspirin for blood thining, Lipitor and Somac and Dilantin as a precautionary for epilepsy althoung not diagnosed with the latter. 've not since [ICU]  seen my GP. My very best regards and thanks, Ken.
