Hello! I read carefully your query. The way you describe seems it might have been TIA ( transient ischemic attack). It is often labeled “mini-stroke,” it is more accurately characterized as a “warning stroke,” a warning you should take very seriously. Additional signs of a stroke may include: Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body. Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding. Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes. Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, lack of balance or coordination. Sudden severe headache with no known cause. Since these symptoms has started suddenly,affected arm and leg of one side of the body this is the most probably diagnosis and you need to be evaluated. I suggest to consult a neurologist as soon as possible to exclude this serious condition and to get the right treatment to prevent a possible stroke(the treatment usually consist on taking blood-thinning drugs). Hope my answer has helped. Take care. Dr.Rovena
