Lost Balance, Fell And Body Was Not Responding To Brain Commands. No Recurrence. Transient Ischemic Attack?

Last March, I was outside and lost my balance and found myself unable to get up off the ground! My body would not respond to my mind saying "get up". I finally did get on my feet but had poor balance and was sweating. Everything was fine after a few minutes and have had no problems since. Could this have been a TIA?. I am 62 and feel like I'm in good shape (diet and exercise).

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
In case of TIA patient her self/him self may not be able to find what condition it was, it is sudden onset, patient lost consciousness of course it is transient as name it self suggest it, after gaining the consciousness patient did not remembered what exactly was happened, in your case it may be hypoglycemia or orthostatic hypotension I would advise you for blood glucose test and second EKG this will clear the picture, if it turned negative then we can think about brain scan have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
