Wow, there is no way that anyone can give you a valid answer here.  You need to go to a doctor and be evaluated.  \n\nMany things need to be considered to evaluate your risk and determine if you could actually have experienced a TIA.  Some of these are your age, your health condition, your family history, and your symptoms, their frequency, length, and severity.\n\nPlease do not depend on anyone's answer on this site.  Your health and life are much too important.  I would recommend that you have someone drive you to the doctor, in case there is a condition that might effect your own ability.\n\nI don't mean to scare you but until you have this checked into, you should not take risks.

Cerebrovascular accident or Stroke is characterized by the sudden loss of circulation to an area of the brain, resulting in a corresponding loss of neurologic function. Cerebrovascular accident or stroke syndrome, stroke is a nonspecific term encompassing a heterogeneous group of pathophysiologic causes, including thrombosis, embolism, and hemorrhage. \n\nStrokes currently are classified as either hemorrhagic or ischemic. Acute ischemic stroke refers to strokes caused by thrombosis or embolism and accounts for 80% of all strokes. \n\nOn the macroscopic level, ischemic strokes most often are caused by extracranial embolism or intracranial thrombosis. On the cellular level, any process that disrupts blood flow to a portion of the brain unleashes an ischemic cascade, leading to the death of neurons and cerebral infarction. Understanding this chain of events is important for understanding current therapeutic approaches. \n\nCommon symptoms of stroke include abrupt onset of hemiparesis, monoparesis, or quadriparesis; monocular or binocular visual loss; visual field deficits; diplopia; dysarthria; ataxia; vertigo; aphasia; or sudden decrease in the level of consciousness.\n\nDiagnostic Studies/ Lab work-Ups:\n1. CBC, basic chemistry panel, coagulation studies, and cardiac biomarkers should be obtained in most patients.\n2. Cranial CT Scan\n3. Carotid duplex scanning is reserved for patients with acute ischemic stroke in whom carotid artery stenosis or occlusion is suspected.\n4. Transcranial Doppler ultrasound is useful for evaluating more proximal vascular anatomy, including the MCA, intracranial carotid artery, and vertebrobasilar artery.\n5. ECG - cardiogenic thrombus origin (usually patients with Atrial Fibrillation)\n6. MRI\n7. 4 vessel Angiogram\n\nTreatment:\n1. Airway, Breathing, Circulation\n2. BP control - calcium channel blockers (eg, nimodipine) \n3. Temp control (antipyretics)\n4. Cerebral Edema control (mannitol, steroids)\n5. Anticoagulants (are considered potential treatments)\n6. Anti platelets agents and  Recombinant tissue-plasminogen activators\n\nhope this one is helpful to you!

(m)\n\nSymptoms During Supraventricular Tachycardia\n\n\nPalpitations \n\nLightheadedness \n\nDizziness \n\nLoss of consciousness \n\nChest pain \n\nShortness of breath \n\nTypically, patients have symptoms from SVT, but occasionally they may have no symptoms. A common symptom during SVT is palpitations or a sensation that the heart is beating rapidly, fluttering, or racing. This may last for a few seconds or several hours. Occasionally, patients may have a sensation of shortness of breath or "air-hunger," or chest pressure or pain. Sometimes patients will feel lightheaded or dizzy, and rarely patients will feel like they are about to pass out. Loss of consciousness (also known as syncope) during SVT is a rare occurrence. Although such symptoms may raise concern, in general, SVT is not a serious or life-threatening condition. Nonetheless, if any of these symptoms develops, immediate medical attention should be sought. \n\ngothrouh the following website for Supra Ventricular Tachycardia

could be several things\n\nhigh blood pressure-when your blood pressure gets to high-your body's autoimmune response is to try and shut itself down for protection. this means causing severe dizziness,faintness,complete loss of consciousness, chest pain,numbness,and blurry vision\n\nlow blood sugar-when the body's blood sugar gets too low-one can have feelings of extreme weakness or fatigue,dizziness,passing out,breaking out into sweats,confusion or disorientation.\n\npanic/anxiety attack. symptoms of these are:\n\n-overwhelming feeling of panic ( like you are going to die)\n-chest pain/tightness\n-dizziness or faintness\n-confusion or disorientation\n-blurry vision\n-heart palpitations\n\nany one of these situations can require immediate medical attention. but first try these things\n\n-lie down in a dark,quiet,and comfortable room\n-place a cold washcloth on your forehead\n-take slow,deep breaths and try to focus on relaxing\n-have someone get you something cold to drink or get it yourself before lying down. take small,frequent sips\n\nrest for about 20-30 mins. if you are still having the same symptoms have someone take you to the emergency room. if there is nobody available to drive you-call 911 and have an ambulance come get you. since you are having vision problems-it is not safe for you to drive.

The symptoms of a stroke are generally weakness to one side, slurred speech, drooping facial features to the affected side. Bell's Palsy is facial paralysis, normally affecting one side of the face, and can last from a number of weeks to a number of years.Most patients suspect they have suffered a stroke when first faced by it's effect and a visit to the doctor helps alleviate their fears. Symptoms normally include; a drooping or sagging mouth, facial pain, drooling, loss of taste, inability to close the eye resulting in tearing. Good luck to you, seems like you and your family needs it.

There are no exceptions!!!!!!!!!! You need to go to the nearest emergency room IMMEDIATELY!!!! You could be having heart failure, and facial numbness suggest the possibility of a stroke. WOULD YOU RATHER DIE AT 28 OR GO TO A FREAKIN DOCTOR? And..... I'm a Christian, too, but Jesus did not say to not seek medical attention! Pray and believe, but go, NOW! LOG OFF NOW, AND GET TO A HOSPITAL!

I have had the same thing and was not given an explanation. The onset of stroke is accompanied by slurred speech and loss of balance.

A stroke or TIA might be accompanied by other signs as well, such as slurred speech, vision loss, numbness, that sort of thing.  Halting speech like you describe is evidence of a number of other mental conditions.

Both heart attack and stroke are due to ischemia, which is restricted blood flow to the organ. Both of these organs have a high requirement for oxygen, so reduced or absent blood flow to either organ quickly leads to cell damage and then cell death.\n\n In a heart attack, blood flow is usually restricted or blocked in the coronary arteries, leading to MI (myocardial infarction) in the part of the heart supplied by the troubled artery. Other possibilities for heart attack include such things as arrhythmias and lung problems, such as pulmonary embolism.\n\nIn a stroke, a part of the brain loses its blood supply due to blockage or rupture of the vessels that supply it. This can be anywhere from small and transient, such as in a "mini-stroke", where a clot temporarily blocks a section of blood flow (commonly called a TIA, or transient ischemic attack) up to a large vessel that is permanently blocked (or bleeding) leading to ischemia and necrosis (cell death) to a larger section of the brain, with critical or fatal results.\n\nIn either case, quick medical attention can often limit or prevent long-term damage. The faster the oxygen supply can be restored, the less harm that is done.

Please take a couple of seconds to read this, it could help somebody. \nDo read this it may be very useful one day!! \n\nDuring a BBQ a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured \neveryone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and \njust tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her \ncleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a \nbit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the afternoon. \nIngrid's husband called later that evening telling everyone that his \nwife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm, Ingrid passed \naway.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ - had they known how to \nidentify the signs of a stroke perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. \n\nIt only takes a minute to read this   -  a neurologist says that if he \ncan get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the \neffects of a stroke...totally. \nHe said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed and \ngetting to the patient within 3 hours which is tough. \n\nRECOGNIZING A STROKE \nThank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps. Read and Learn! \nSometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. \nUnfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke \nvictim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize \nthe symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize \na stroke by asking three simple questions: \n1.      Ask the individual to SMILE. \n2.      Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. \n3.      Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (coherently) (e.g.... \nIt is a sunny day today) \nIf he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 999 \nimmediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. \nAfter discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could \nidentify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, \nresearchers urged the general public to learn the three questions. \nThey presented their conclusions at the British Stroke Association's \nannual meeting in February. \nWidespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and \ntreatment \nof the stroke and prevent brain damage. \nA cardiologist says if everyone who gets this message sends it to 10 \npeople; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. \nBE A FRIEND AND SHARE THIS ARTICLE WITH AS MANY FRIENDS AS POSSIBLE, \nyou could save their lives.

ABSOLUTELY NOT.\n\nA stroke is caused by lack of oxygen in the brain - usually due to a blood clot or sometimes a bleed in the intracranial vessels.  You can think of it as the brain's equivalent of a heart attack.  \nIt is a very serious situation that can only be dealt with by medical professionals.  \n\n\nIf you think someone may be having a stroke, act "F.A.S.T." and do this simple test:\n\n---Act F.A.S.T.---\n\nF-ACE    Ask the person to smile.  Does one side of the face droop?\n\nA-RMS    Ask the person to raise both arms.  Does one arm drift downward?\n\nS-PEECH  Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence.  Are the words slurred?  Can he/she repeat the sentence correctly?\n\nT-IME    If the person shows any of these symptoms, TIME IS IMPORTANT.  Call 911 & Get to the hospital fast.  BRAIN CELLS ARE DYING.

You may have had a TIA stroke (ministroke).  You might have a mild form of epilepsy and experienced a minor seizure.  If you are overweight, a smoker, on birth control, or have high cholesterol, then I would be worried about the TIA.  If you are not, you need to find out whether you are possibly an epileptic, so this doesn't happen to you when you are driving one day.

Signs and symptoms of CNS Oxygen Toxicity may be any of the following --- visual disturbances, ringing in the ears, nausea, muscular twitching, irritability, dizziness, and convulsions. It is important to note that these signs and symptoms do not proceed in any particular order i.e. convulsions and subsequently death by drowning, can occur without warning.

A consistent feeling of having a pulse in your neck, general feelings of blood flowing to your brain, persistent consciousness, and continued living are all prime warning signs you have not only one or two, but two pairs of carotid arteries.  \n\nThe inner and outer carotid arteries are the four primary arteries in your body to supply your head, and more to the point your brain, with its blood supply.  There is one pair of carotid arteries (the inner and outer carotid arteries) found on each side of your neck.  The jugular veins are the primary veins used to return blood from your head to your heart and lungs, and they are likewise found one on each side of your neck.  \n\nIf they are functioning normally, your carotid arteries should not cause any health problems.  Your carotid arteries are standard parts of your anatomy.  Having them wouldn't cause physical problems any more than you having arms and legs would cause physical problems.  There are occasions when it's perfectly normal to feel your own pulse in your neck.  "Twitching" is more likely a muscle spasm than an arterial problem.  \n\nHowever, taken together those physical symptoms can be alarming.  Chest pain, dizziness, headaches... occasionally everyone develops isolated incidence of those things, too.  Headaches can often be caused by vascular tension (the blood vessels in your head tensing up), and are actually the most common type of headache.  Dizziness could certainly come with a bad vascular headache since your blood pressure is being affected.  \n\nIf you are experiencing those symptoms on a regular basis, and you are feeling alarmed enough to ask for advice on the matter, you should see a physician about it.  I know, doctors appointments are annoying and expensive, but these really aren't symptoms you can have diagnosed online, and while they may be harmless, they can also be symptoms of a health problem which could be dangerous to ignore.  If nothing else, it will allow a physician to examine you and explain to you what might be causing the problems you're experiencing and recommend an appropriate remedy for them.  =)
