I'm pretty sure I had a TIA the other day.
At first I thought it was a panic attack... I took my medicine for my anxiety and it went away within a few minutes...
now I'm not so sure.
it started with a general tingling in my shoulders and then my right hand went heavy and tingly. I could move it but not well, it felt clumsy and disconnected, this feeling spread up my arm. I calmly walked to my room where I keep my medicine and was talking myself through it, I was not slurring my words and I was making perfect sense.
By the time I sat down on my bed the feeling had spread up to the right side of my face.
I have an appointment with a doctor next week. I know going to an ER now wouldn't help, they can only detect TIA's within the hour.
any experiences, comments or suggestions?
