These are serious symptoms that must not be ignored.
These episodes could be transient ischemic attacks (TIA) or mini-strokes.
TIA is caused by a clot; the only difference between a stroke and TIA is that with TIA the blockage is transient (temporary). TIA symptoms occur rapidly and last a relatively short time. Most TIAs last less than five minutes; the average is about a minute. When a TIA is over, it usually causes no permanent injury to the brain.
Please contact your physician to report this and to schedule an appointment.
