Answer 2

It sounds like you have suffered a T.I.A,transient ischemic attack,which is a transient stroke that lasts only a few minutes,it occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is briefly interrupted..Most symptoms are similar to those of a stroke but don't last as long.Symptoms can include,numbness or weakness in the face arm or leg,particularly on one side of the body,confusion,or difficulty in talking or understanding speech.(dysphasia).Trouble seeing in one or both eyes and difficulty with walking,dizziness,or loss of balance and coordination.T.I.A's are often warning signs that a person is more at risk of a more debilitating stroke,change of lifestyle is the easiest way to prevent them,smoking,alcohol consumption,bad diet and high blood pressure all are factors.

Answer 3

Sounds like you suffered a mini stroke, this would leave a weakness down one side of your body and also leave you very tird, best to wait for your test results they will advise you what medication you will need.

Answer 4

Answer 6

Sounds very much like a mini stroke (your GP will tell you if it was). Try not to worry too much and you will soon be on the road to recovery.
