Hello,
From what I understand it seems like a transient ischemic attack, which is a transitory deficit leaving no lesions on MRI imaging.
Of course, it must be investigated regarding the cause and vessel imaging like vessel MRI (or angio CT, Doppler ultrasound when MRI is not available) is a vital test among others.
There is no reason to delay it, no reason to rest if hospital structures offer this test should be done at the earliest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr Olsi Taka, Neurologist
