Brief Answer:
Need to exclude TIA.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Mr XXXXXXX

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms. i would like to reassure you that most likely, it is not a serious issue.

However, we need to exclude a TIA- transient ischemic attack, where the blood supply to brain gets blocked for a short time.

You can get a test done, called as Carotid Doppler, which can exclude any narrowing or occlusion of carotid arteries (blood vessels supplying blood to brain).

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
