What Could Cause Loss Of Sense And BP Level Above 115?

Hi. I am 36, Male and have a metallic aortic valve in my heart already for 22 years. Recently I have experienced loosing sense on left or right of my body or face few times in last two weeks. It just starts suddenly including double vision and losing my body balance, but my blood pressure stays above 115. It goes away after 1 or 2 hours all by itself. Could that be due to my heart craft mulfunction or it is brain related?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello , blood pressure of 115 and above will not cause symptoms you describe .
The symptoms you describe may be brain related, which falls under the domain of transient is chemical attacks , which may happen due to microclots from the heart going to the brain causing transiently decrease in the blood supply to the affected brain causing symptoms.
This may happen Inspite of you being on warfarin or blood thinners .
If they persist a consult with your cardiologist would be safer to rule other causes for the same .
An MRI Brian will help rule out TIA I described.
