[|AI|]  Hi, I am Chat Doctor.  I have read your question with care and understand your concerns. Let me try to help you The episode which you have narrated > can be a 1) TIA : Transient Ischemic Attacks or 2) RIND : Reverse Ischemic Neurological Deficit As the names imply, these are temporary events due to low blood flow to brain and if the blood flow is restored soon the functions will be restored the blood flow is not restored, it will progress to strokes, I would suggest you to consult a Neurosurgeon / Neurologist and Do tests to check blood Flow in the vessels that supply brain (4 Vessel Angiogram or CT Angiogram) Hope you found the answer helpful. If you need any clarification / have doubts / have additional questions / have follow-up questions, then please do not hesitate in asking again. I will be happy to answer your questions. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.
