Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In my opinion, symptoms you describe may indicate transient ischemic attack. I think you should get evaluated by your Neurologist for these symptoms, because in a number of cases, transient ischemic attack may herald a stroke.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
