To-day I had a turn of some sort,my right arm had no feeling as if it did not belong to me and for a few minutes I lost control my balance. I did not experience any pain. I am 72 years of age and have had 2 stents fitted several years ago. My blood pressure was fine this morning and I have no answer to my situation from this morning.

Hi,
Welcome to Health Care Magic,
These symptoms could be due to Transient ischemic Attacks. Usually it is due to less blood supply to nerves and could be a warning symptom for stroke. You should immediately see your Doctor. Also take Aspirin 100 mg immediately if you do not have any symptoms of gastritis. On your visit to your Doctor, you can ask him about the continuation of Aspirin.
