Brief Answer:
You need to consult your emergency care physician.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic

I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.

I reviewed your history.
These symptoms indicate a probable transient ischemic attack. The common causes that needs to be ruled out are hypotension, hypoglycemia and vascular causes involving the heart or the brain.

Since she is young she requires evaluation to prevent any complications like stroke.
You need to consult your emergency care physician without much delay for evaluation and prophylactic treatment.


Hope this information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.


Thank you
