Unlikely: It is unlikely to be a stroke or TIA. Strokes/TIA usually causes loss of function - weakness, numbness etc. Your description does not fit classic stroke or TIA.

Question 2

when i can warm or hot or when i exercise, i get stings (electrical needle like) all over my body, primarily head and back. i hope there is a cure for this, i think it might be heat rash? but there is no rash, just pain.

Accepted Answer

Warm up: It is good that you are exercising. What you described is likely due to onset of sweating and the sweat gland trying to put out water quickly. Try a 10 minute period of warming up before progressing to hard or vigorous exercise.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

i noticed a small dot mark on my chest. in 10 days it has grown to @ an inch,is raised, hard to the touch, very red and red around it. its extremely painful. it doesnt have a head. using warm compresses and heating pad. what else can i do?

Accepted Answer

: Although you do not see the head or an entry mark, insect bite seems consistent with your description but a boil can't be ruled out. You have done the right thing, apply warm compress several times a day, take tylenol or advil for pain if needed. If the redness extends further and you have fever or chill, you should go to urgent care for the correct diagnosis because antibiotic may be required.
