Hello,

Thank you for choosing DoctorSpring.

Yes, these symptoms could be a warning sign of TIA ( Transient Ischemic Attack). It is like a 50% probability . Its been few hours since you have posted the query.
It is strongly recommend that YOU SHOULD get medical help asap. (ER / Urgent care). While most of the times the symptoms might disappear , in some rare cases this can evolve into a full fledged stroke.

She will need a CT scan of the brain to be sure.

Meanwhile if you get time please update me with the following information :

1. How are the symptoms now ? Progress ? Resolution ?
2. Is there any deviation of angle of mouth ?
3. Any visual disturbances ?
4. Any headaches ?
5. Is there any weakness of arms or legs / any loss of sensation ?

You can reply as a followup
Thank you
