It’s not a scam. But I feel better now.
Good to hear FRiend
This has happened to you before, right? You need to get medical attention. Please, for the sake of all that is good, please get medical attention.
No matter if you feel better, get medical help and soon.
I would advise going to the hospital and getting checked out. Seriously. Could have been a mini stroke. Please go now. Need assessment and a scan.
Then see a doctor as soon as you can. Actually two relatives I have had the same thing happen. What happens is you go to the doctor, they order a lot of tests, some blood, some physical exam stuff, some that are like X-rays (which are important), to rule out really bad things. When the tests come back negative (very likely), they will say it was probably a transient ischemic attack, and give you pills to fix an underlying cause the tests indicate.
In a TIA, basically a little blood clot flowed through the blood up to your brain, and as the blood pathway branched off into narrower arterioles and capillaries, it blocked one, which cut off the blood supply to a small part of the brain. That part of your brain went a little hypoxic, not getting enough oxygen, and it was shut down, producing the weird hallucination.
After a small bit, the blockage broke free, flowed on, bloodflow was restored, and that part of the brain came back online and the symptom disappeared and you felt fine.
The problem is TIAs usually indicate a higher than normal possibility of a big stroke one day, so they are like the canary in the coal mine. You want to get on them and check them out so you don’t end up disabled by a real stroke in the coming weeks or months.
It is also important to see the doctor to make sure it wasn’t anything associated with bleeding (which it probably wasn’t, but you want to be sure). A blockage gets something like aspirin to thin blood, but a bleeding thing would get worse with such a therapy, so you need to differentiate them.
Of course it could have been a brain burp, not due to anything, like a little seizure that you will never see again. But you need to get it checked, and have the doctor tell you that.
I would not panic, or worry too much, but I would also get it checked out, the same way I would wear a seat belt.
Were you sitting for a long time in one position? What did you do within minutes of the attack? (get up suddenly, eat a massive meal, sneeze, see something that really worries/excites you, etc.)
Good luck and good health brother, and get it taken care of.
