Hello,

Your description of the event does not seem to suggest a significant or intolerable amount of pain and you are not mentioning any concerning symptoms such as sudden nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, reduced level of consciousness, etc. etc.

Therefore, I believe it would be a good idea to go in for a checkup to your regular doctor but not necessarily on an EMERGENT basis unless any of the above symptoms develop.

Otherwise, relax, maintain good hydration, activity as tolerated, and make an appointment just to be reviewed when your doctor can get you in so the episode can be documented.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
