I had lunch with my father (a retired neurosurgeon) and he said that usually the symtoms from a TIA will take a day or so to clear up, however a partial seizure may have been what the reporter suffered.
In adults (over 25) the seizure is triggered by a tumor in 2 of 3 cases, and unfortunately, the tumor can be a glioma (very bad).
She needs to get a complete workup by a neurologist.
Prayers for her and hope for simple and benign cause.

Actually (from wife) a TIA can resolve anywhere from minutes to hours. She did have facial muscle weakness in the video.

Hopefully it is not a glioma.

Sadly it appears she has not gotten proper advice. It is good she is seeing her Doctor, but it would have been better to go to the ER for an immediate workup (specifically a Cardiac Ultrasound to rule out a PFO).
