Brief Answer:
must see physician

Detailed Answer:
Hello amdam and welcome to healthcaremagic,

The symptoms you just described can be due to TIA - transient ischaemic attack. It is similar to a mild stroke. Since you mentioned that you have poorly controlled hyepertension, TIA is a definite possibility. Please see a physician at the earliest to rule it out.

Anxiety and panic attacks can produce similar symptoms. Cardiac conditions can also produce such symptoms


I recommend you do not waste any time in seeing a physician.

Regards,
Dr Rajkishori Godhi
