Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Either it was a case of transient ischemic attack or a bad case of panic attack. TIA or transient ischemic attack is a mini stroke that happens when the blood supply to brain is temporarily cut off. The episodes last for a maximum of 24 hours and then resolve or a new symptom starts. Again this can be due to low oxygen supply to brain where the blood supply to brain is temporarily cut off generally due to a spasm of the arteries, or a clot or high blood pressure causing micro leaks in the brain. It is common in people with high blood pressure, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, and high cholesterol. Hence all predisposing factors to TIA should be ruled out like polycythemia vera, sickle cell disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes, hyperviscosity syndromes, hypertension etc.
Generally this can happen several times before an actual stroke happens. This is a warning sign for the body. If you have such episodes, then you must get them evaluated immediately.
Another possibility is nerve compression high up in the cervical spine. Hope this helps. Take care!

I hope you are feeling better. I did help a friend with this at one time. He had a TIA. this is a blood clot to his brain, it lasted only minutes. He has sense had 4 mini strokes. I hope this will help you, we all have over charging doctors in the USA and I am fixing to fire my own. Have a wonderful holiday sincerely Babette
