Anyone experienced this??

Hi all. I’m currently helping my mum recover from her heart attack and heart failure.

She’s 77 and every day is a different day. We have some good ones and bad. Yesterday was a good day. I’ve just called round this morning while she was having her breakfast and she said her mouth had gone really dry. She could still smile but I could tell it looked odd so i gave her a glass of water and it literally fell out of her mouth (the water) I actually thought she was having some kind of TIA. Then as quickly as it came on her mouth went back to normal again. She said it was just after she’d taken her tablets that it happened. We have a telephone appointment with the heart failure nurse tomorrow so I will tell her about it but just wondered is this common?? Has she had some kind of TIA? I got her to squeeze my hands and she was able to do this very hard with both hands. Her speech isn’t slurred but she does struggle with the odd word finding and has since her heart attack. Any advice would be grateful. She seems absolutely fine now and has gone to get dressed. I would have thought her medication would stop any stroke happening or am I wrong there. She has no stent as the artery was fully blocked so her condition is purely managed by the tablets she’s on.
