What Causes A Fainting Spell, Temporary Memory Loss And Repetitive Questioning?

I had an incident where I was physically exerted and I felt like I was going to pass out, could not remember anything that happened that day, kept asking the same 3 quesitons over and over. This lasted 3 hours and then my memory slowly started to come back. Could this have been a mini stroke? Since that incident I ve had two other times when I was dancing that I completely forgot the steps. It was like I could not make my feet move like they were supposed to.

Hello,

You seem to have suffered a transient ischemic attack also called mini stroke. Other possible causes may be:
Carotid Artery Dissection
Meningitis
Meningococcal Meningitis
Multiple Sclerosis
Stroke, Hemorrhagic
Stroke, Ischemic
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Surgery
Syncope

You need to go to a neuro-physician for detailed clinical examination and few tests like MRI brain to arrive at specific diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
