A few days ago I woke up from a very vivid dream where I was having a stroke.
I felt very very odd. Disoriented, spaced out and confused. My body felt heavy and when I tried to tie my hair back my arms felt heavy. I suffer anxiety and thought I was going to have a panic attack as I could feel it beginning. I went to find a family member to help me but when I tried to talk apparently I sounded half asleep and drunk. I did struggle to get words out and they were not formed properly but I was making sense.
My family member got me to raise my arms which I could do but they were weak and heavy and I could nt keep either of them up very long. My face was fine. They called an ambulance as we were both concerned but by the time they came I felt very tired but normal. Neither the paramedics or the hospital Dr thought I’d had a TIA and I passed all the tests and checks. Bloods, ECG, BP all normal.
They did nt give an explanation as to what it could of been and my anxious brain won’t let it go. I keep focusing on the fact symptoms had disappeared by the time I was seen so a TIA would not have been picked up. I did nt have any scans or medicine.
I’m just venting and trying to understand.I don’t want this to happen again and next time it be worse.
