Was this a stroke?

Hello

First off I will say I am 33. I have great blood pressure. No collateral issues.  I do have a lot of varicose veins deep in pelvis around uteros from child bird and was diagnosed with pelvic congestion syndrome. But people can go there whole lives with no issues with this and it usually have no relation to stroke, although to me I don't see why it couldn't as it's vascular-related but i digress. :)

At any rate, a few months back I woke up in the night. At this point I cannot remember why.  I have only remembered this recently as my father in-law may have had a stroke today and while researching his stuff, my experience came back to me.

So I woke up, and all I remember is while trying to say something to my husband I would try to get out a word then...NOTHING.  As if all words have vanished from my brain. It was so surreal.  My brain was not just blank like when speaking and trying to find the "right" word. There WAS NO WORDS.  LIke someone had erased my mind. I couldn't even describe what I was feeling into words. nothing.  I tried again and again.  it was the scariest thing. I started crying after a bit and panicked. This went on for what seemed like forever but must have been a minute.  Finally words came back.

The next day I chalked it up to maybe almost like a night terror for adults.  Now though I'm worried reading through the literature for my father in-law...

Anyone have their stroke come in the middle of the night? Or ever heard of this?

Thank you

I wanted to add as well. I didn't wake up and go get a drink of water or something .I woke up in bed and within nanoseconds of waking I for some reason had tried to say something to my husband . i cannot remember the situation that surrounded it. Only what happened afterwards.

Thanks
