Hello,
Her symptoms could be related to a possible stroke or migraine. For this reason, I recommend going to the ER again for a physical exam, complete blood count, a brain CT scan and a Doppler ultrasound of the carotid arteries.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
