I know exactly what that feels like. I have had two of these events, right after the birth of my second child by c-section. I didn't know anything was wrong until I went to speak. All I could get out was, “something wrong. head” the rest was well I don't know what it was, but I couldn't speak. It passes within a few minutes. It is an utterly bizarre sensation. Its frightening, because right at that instant, you can't understand what is wrong, only that something is.

I hope she recovers, these sorts of ischemic strokes can mean larger problems, but they can also occur for other reasons which are entirely treatable. I am lucky, I have never had another one.

There’s a Freeper with applicable experience on every topic. I’m glad you were okay!

“I have had two of these events..”

I am so happy that you are feeling better. I think to lose a body function that suddenly must be overwhelmingly frightening.

Agree — TIAs can mean problems in future but can be singular events due to multiple causes. Reports on Branson are conflicting; hope she is OK and a cause will be found.
