Unsure

[Doggie123-UK]

I was discussing historical health issues with a friend and I told her about an incident that happened quite some time ago,

I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get out of bed, my entire left side was frozen and I was flopping about like a fish out of water, I must have dropped back to sleep and got up in the morning with no problems.

I put it down to stress because of pressure at work, she remarked it could have been a mini stroke, I have had no other issues like this since then, although I have many other health issues.

I am not really concerned as it happened some time ago but just interested and I would be grateful for any of your comments and opinions

Suggest you go to a doctor and explain what you’ve describe there so that they can run scans/doppler on your neck just to check your arteries etc. to be on safe side

interesting …I did have mini stroke at start of lockdown, years ago but a week before that I’d felt very tired and tried to put a cushion behind my head and just couldn’t grasp it …remember trying to do this ineffectually, fell asleep and woke up fine. Sure mine was linked to badly treated hypothyroidism which led to high BP and cholesterol. Always worth having these things checked!
