What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In Hands, Fingers And Arm?

while at work this evening I was counting my money drawer when my right arm began to tingle and go numb all the way to my hand and fingers, vision in my right eye was blurred and could not focus my right leg became weak and I felt dizzy and felt faint. my co-workers said I was very pale. Is it possible I had a TIA? I am a former paramedic. it is now about an hour since these symptoms and I am feeling better still a little shakey
