What Causes Tiredness?
I had an episode this afternoon where I could think straight but the words came out gibberish. It lasted for about two minutes. No other symptons. I checked my blood pressure and pulse and they were normal. Now I am tired. What's going on? BTW I'm 63 and in excellent health, exercise regularly and eat well.

hello,
Your symptoms- speaking gebbrish followed by tiredness-- is highly in favour of seizure episode ( partial seizure). You must see a neurologist or atleast a GP and get an EEG brain and CAT scan head at the earliest. EEG should preffrably be done before starting any drug to get correct results.
Usually such episodes are repetitive in nature.
I dont want to scare you but these symptoms must be looked into carefully.
I hope the reply is useful.
wish you good health.
