Brief Answer:
Transient ischemic attack

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns. unfourtanetly thiscould be a transient ischemic attack. transient ischemic attack is usually a warning sign that you possibly could have a full stroke in the future .
To identify the cause of the transient ischemic attack , you will need to run some tests including carotid ultrasound , ECG, ct scan angiography on the brain and echocardiogram ..
until you do these tests you are adviced to take aspirin of low dose ( baby aspirin ) 75-81 mg daily.
I hope I answered your question . if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion..
