Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Symptoms including momentary absent mindedness, dizziness and numbness involving hands and feet should not be ignored. These might have a common origin in the brain and can occur due to reduced blood supply in certain areas or any similar abnormality limiting the functions of the brain. It is suggested that you consult your neurologist at the earliest and get your neurology clinical examination done in detail. Depending on your examination findings, your doctor might advise you to get a MRI scan or CT scan done for the brain. This will rule out any possible condition which might cause your symptoms. The above can be considered mini stroke like episodes and you should not wait anymore.
