I had a mini stroke in July and a suspected TIA about 5 weeks ago.
It sounds mad not being sure but may have had another TIA yesterday or was it nightmare extreme brain fog.
Over aboit 2 hours I became extremely confused, slurring speech to extreme if I tried to speak, missing words couldn’t think at all, very dizzy, distressed for obvious reasons, brain felt unable to process or think at all, light headed ... after about 2 hours it over the afternoon eased as I rested.
Since the minor stroke in July and subsequent TIA my sight has worsened considerably and more severe memory lapses. I’ve been diagnosed with severe blood vessel disease in the brain but still awaiting a ME neurologist consultation and my post stroke Pyschologist is trying to get me a TIA consultation. FYI my post stroke Pyschologist told me ambulance people can refer people to TIA department in hospital or onto stroke dept.
Front top part of brain hurting / similar to brain inflammation feeling.
It was quite horrendous and extremely frightening. I was with my bestie pal. As I didn’t have facial droop, although the lhs of my face felt heavy, from my friend watching me and looking after me. If I’d been with my Mum she would have called 999 or if it had happened with strangers etc then it would have been 999. For obvious reasons with the pandemic I want to avoid hospital.
Thx for all advice.
