Brief Answer:
It was most likely a type of Focal Seizure of arm
Detailed Answer:
Just relax, XXXXX!
Like I said earlier, it was most likely a
partial seizure (earlier called Focal seizure) involving the right arm and associated
disorientation without
loss of consciousness. It is remotely possible that- during the brief seizure in the form of bizarre
involuntary movements of the arm- there may have been a momentary dislocation of the shoulder joint, which got restored following a certain movement of the arm. The persisting soreness of the arm is perhaps due to either, spasm of the arm muscles or, mild transient compression of the nerves by the
dislocated shoulder.
Further, I had simply said that a temporary stroke- which occurs due to momentary disruption of blood supply to the brain- was the other- though less likely- possibility. And Yes! I fully agree with you that preventive remedial measures prevent permanent stroke (if at all, it was a transient reversible stroke).
You should not wait for another episode, but take an appointment with a
Neurologist at the earliest, explain the sequence of events in detail and apprise him of my opinion. I am sure he will give you a patient hearing, examine you thoroughly and ask for
MRI brain and EEG.
Do not lose heart: BE BRAVE and maintain your cool. Everything is going to be all right. Just meet the neurologist and have faith in him.
I wish you all the best, XXXX. I shall always be available as and when you need my advice. You can bank on me.
God Bless You
