Feels Like Bottom Of Legs Are Gone, No Numbness, Go Down. Head Dizzy, No Diagnosis From Reports. What Is This ?

Hello, I have had a situation where I feel absolutely normal take a step, don't trip, but feel like the bottom half of my legs are gone. I go down. Conscious the whole time. I then can feel my legs, no pain, no numbness. I test it out to see if i can stand and I can. Obviously a little tentative afraid I am going to fall again, but I can do it. Then I am uncoordinated(dizzy for a very short time). In a very short time I can walk perfectly but my head is cloudy. This has happened 3 times. The last time I was at work. My secretary and the Marshal, I am treasurer of a small town and our offices are right next to each other.). They called the ER explained what happened and said I was acting like I was extremely drunk or on drugs. This was the only time that part seemed to happen. I was then in the hospital for 5 days. Full mri, cat scan, eeg, I wont go through the whole list, but I got everything. I was also tested for all kinds of diseases and viruses. aids to Lyme diseases. auto immune everything etc etc etc. I was released last night no diagnosis. Told to keep an eye on it. That's it. Time for the MAYO Clinic?

Welcome to HCM.
Not able to walk,stand properly suggests some problems with small brain (cerebellum).This type of emergency usually develop due to transient ischemic attack.It remains for short time and some time recovers even without treatment but you have to be careful and go for further investigations to rule out this.
Otherwise take therapeutic dose of b12,folic acid and other vitamin,minerals.
Keep regular follow up with your doctor.
