Is Loss Of Mobility In Arm After Stroke Normal?
I had 2 previous strokes and each time the symptoms were different. I experience loss of of mobility in my affected arm and leg on the left side, it always disapears within 20-30 minutes. Today it was my eyes. It was brief also. There is no pain when this happens. I ve to the ER twice and admitted once and no sign of a stroke. Whats happening, are they missing something. Should I see my Cardiologist?

I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
From your description you seem to have had TIA - transient ischemic attack. They should be taken seriously because they might be followed by a stroke with a permanent neurological deficit. So you need treatment with blood thinners and evaluation for risk factors like heart arrhythmias or other heart conditions, high blood pressure, diabetes, blood lipid profile, quit smoking. As part of that evaluation should be a visit to a cardiologist.
I hope to have been of help.
