<human>: Half of my body went numb (left side) motor movement was impaired and it lasted about 2 minutes. My eyesight was also lost on the left side. Ever since then ive had tons of symptoms ive never experienced before such as intense muscle twitches, hot flashes, vision loss, buzzing/ ringing ears and many more. Please help?
<bot>: Hi, Your symptoms could be related to a TIA (transient ischemic attack). I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and some tests to investigate for the possible underlying causes: - a resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound- a Doppler ultrasound of the cervical arteries- a brain MRI-complete blood count-kidney and liver function tests-blood lipid profile for dyslipidemia- fasting glucose and HbA1C for diabetes-blood electrolytes ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring may be needed if a cardiac arrhythmia is suspected. You may need to start and antiplatelet agent or anticoagulation to prevent future episodes or possible stroke. Hope you will find this answer helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further. Kind regards,
