This morning around 3 pm I had an awful experience. When I got out of bed I almost fell down and had to hold onto furniture to get to the bathroom. When I got to the bathroom I felt like I needed to throw up but couldn't. I fell to the floor and was shaking and sweating and couldn't get up. I laid there about 15 minutes and tried to get up. I had to hold onto the sink to get up. I sat down on the toilet
for a few minutes but was still shaking and sweating but got back to bed.
PS: I just realized that I had those symptoms before but didn't what they were.
I have the memory disturbance and weakness on my right side also. Also visual changes. I'm going to make an appointment right away with my neurologist!
Thank you!!!!

thanks again for the additional information.
I think it is a very good idea for you to visit with your doctor to discuss the symptoms. Perhaps some imaging studies may be done to help see if there is anything going on. Your doctor may recommend some medications as well including aspirin or some other type of blood thinner.
