I was just unsure of what just happened to me. I felt a tingling in my thight that worked itself up my buttocks, my left forearm and face ...left side only. This was accompanied by a slight weakness...after a few minutes it completely disappeared. Just wondering if i should see a doctor immediately.

Hello. I have gone through your question. Yes you should see a doctor as soon as possible. It can be a sign of a mini stroke, often called transient ischemic attack. In this blood stops flowing to the brain for a short period of time. However, a mini stroke doesn’t kill brain cells like a stroke does. A mini stroke causes symptoms that mimic those of a stroke. Your doctor can run some tests to make the diagnosis clear. I hope this helps. Thanks and Regards.
