I went in there to join them when my friend stopped in mid sentence he started getting really hot his face was glossy he started walking funny n was loosing his balance.we took him outside to get some air n cool down.we then took him in n sat him down he said his whole left side was numb and asleep he went home still no feeling.

Neurologist 's  Response
Hi,
Based on details there are 2 possibility in view of symptom being episodic , transient ischemic stroke versus focal seizure.

You should consult neurologist for clinical examination of your friend and require CT scan brain and EEG for further confirmation
He also require blood sugar and cholesterol level to be checked

Hope this will help you
