Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hello,
I have studied your case and yes it can be TIA. If these symptoms persist then I would recommend you to meet neurologist and get clinical examination done. Your neurologist may ask you to get a CT scan to confirm the diagnosis. TIA is usually due to uncontrolled sugar or thyroid or Diabetes. So I would recommend you to make sure that every thing is normal because it can become a bigger problem in future.
