Weird episode

Mazgg, you need to see your GP about that , it must have been very frightening for you

Perhaps ring 111 for advice?

You should check this out with a doctor. It could have been migraine, it could have been a TIA, but it could also have been a mild stroke. If you report it you will probably be sent for tests, which will rule out the worst possibilities, and if needed you will get medication to make it less likely to happen again. Ignoring it is not a good idea.

Years ago, driving to my daughter’s house, I had to pull up to the side of the road, because I just didn’t know where I was.
Around the same time , a few couple of weeks later, I was driving home and could not figure where I was.
These incidents coincided with difficulties in my marriage. I am now divorced .
Mazgg - are you having any stresses of any kind? In any case, please see your GP.

I agree with elegran
Don't delay.

Thinking of you.

But definitely see your GP.

You must see your GP asap. It does sound like a migraine - I’ve had those sorts of symptoms over the year - but obviously it could be something else.

Mazgg. Please see your GP. How are you feeling this evening?

Yes. Mine was put down to stress, but please get it checked out asap, you might have had a TIA

Stress/migraine/TIA .. all possible, but each of different seriousness and treatments. Only a doctor can make these distinctions for you!
I hope you an get this sorted.

There are various possibilities for this, but you absolutely must see your GP, to find out the cause.

Yes see you GP but it could be a migraine. You don't always get a headache. They can affect your vision, speech and cordination. Our DD at 13 had symptoms of a stroke and it was migraine. Terrifying.

Please please see your GP asap, it could be nothing, just stress related etc., but it could have been a TIA in which case you will need meds to prevent a possible stroke in the future. My husband had no warnings before he had a stroke just over a year ago, I am now his full time carer.
Prevention is always best. Could be nothing or could be a call to the GP that prevents you suffering what my husband has gone through.

Thank you all for your kindness and concern. I will ring my GP in the morning. Feeling fine apart from mild headache

Migraine with aura
A type of migraine attack when you get certain symptoms, like problems with sight, speech and altered sensations.

I'm 63 now and this happened to me just once about 8 years ago, I went to bed as normal and then woke up 2am and didn't know who I was. I felt strongly there were people in the house who could help me, so I went downstairs in a horrible panic thinking I must find someone. (now ex)H was in the kitchen he gave me an aspirin just in case, I think the whole episode must have lasted 5 minutes? I couldn't remember my children or who he was initially. Awful experience but I was under incredible stress at the time so I put it down to some sort of "temporary absence". You do need to ask the GP but just to reassure you this sort of thing does happen and it might not mean anything.

Yes I had these episodes over a few years, not frequently but about twice a year. Not the speech problem. I mentioned it to the GP and he checked my eyes and said it was probably migraine. I even had an eye test at the optician and was told the same thing but I never had a headache.
Eventually I started having tia's but I didn't know what was wrong. Eventually I mentioned these different symptoms to the GP and was sent for Cardiology tests. I was eventually diagnosed with a heart condition and I'm now taking a lot of medication. I hope you are diagnosed soon and they find out what's causing your problems. All the best

My hairdresser, a youngish man had something similar recently. Went to A&E, diagnosed with migraine and told to rest. It took him days to recover. They said they’ve had a lot of people with this recently.

I agree with those who have said contact your GP asap. If you can't get an immediate appt then I would ring 111 or go to A&E. Hopefully it's nothing serious but on the other hand it could be and needs investigating. Take care.

This sounds like a classic TIA .
I had one when pregnant and I was absolutely terrified.
Luckily the doctor next door checked me ,but I still had to go to the hospital.

I was on bed rest for a week .

It was okay.

Please-take some food and drink and a nice friend and go straight to
A and E and get it checked out .
Thinking of you ,
Hugs,

How did you get on with your GP OP? How very frightening for you.

Sounds very like migraine to me but, especially if you don’t normally get migraines, get checked out by your GP.

a shame people don't read latest comments before adding their own!!

Leasing. Sometimes other comments appear unbeknownst to you while you are typing your comment.

Is there an update from the OP yet? I hope she was able to see her GP.
