Glad you posted that. I thought I read an hour or two ago that she was NOT taken to the hospital. Wow, I hope she made the correct decision. I’ve read TIAs can have immediate but temporary affects and the person can return to normal quickly. Massive stokes can occur a few days later. She should have been checked out.

Is there any drug that can do the same to a person besides salvia? Not that I think she was on drugs, but why not go to the hospital?

The young woman's vital signs were normal and she wasn't hospitalized, CBS said. A colleague took her home as a precaution and she said she was "feeling fine" Monday morning, according to the channel.

She needs to be seen by a Neurologist ASAP. It could be something as simple as a PFO or much worse. This was her warning and someone needs to counsel her immediately to seek help. The aphasia and facial muscle weakness was a neurological event.

That was foolish. She should have been evaluated for stroke or seizure. She looked fine, animated nothing in her face to suggest stroke just from what we could see here. But that does not mean she did not have a TIA. My DH had a TIA and did not present with the normal signs at all..his was a tiny one. He was watching TV when it happened. All that he mentioned was that his foot hurt..who would think much of that when one has diabetic neuropathy? The next morning he spoke like he had a mouth full of Novocaine after a dental visit. This young woman should be evaluated and I hope someone smarter than she is or her friends are will urge her to do so.
