I posted yesterday, thinking that I might have had a mini stroke..(still not sure) didn't go to the doctor because it all went away within 2 hours, but it scared me, went numb in my left leg..foot, and arm, that all made me very unsteady naturally, my gait was really off.
But I've been reading about TIA today, and I learned that low blood sugar can mimic TIA, and wondering if that might have been what happened to me. I don't have diabetes, and I wasn't hungery didn't eat anything, actually haven't had much of a appittite, so it went away without eating anything to raise blood sugar, and that makes me question that mybe it wasn't low blood sugar. Oh I'm am rambleing now, I'm sorry.
What do you all think about low blood sugar and TIA?
I don't think it would do any good to go to the doctor now, it has been to long I'm sure. Would hate to spend all that money on test, when it could be just low blood sugar.
Thank You
Kathy

I went to hospital last year by ambulance. Collapse, pain, fear of dying. I was afraid of heart attack.
Nothing was found. Just before leaving the next day, the doc, as an afterthought, checked me for stroke. He didn't find anything suspicious.
I checked into the next hospital (luckily my insurance paid everything) and after CT-scan and other stuff they didn't find anything on my heart.
So, I'm still not the wiser what had happened to me that day.
Panic Attack? Low Sugar? TIA? Tumor pressure on an artery?
How far shall I go with the research?
