Dr. Paul Velt answered

Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

See your doctor: These types of symptoms usually catch my attention. It would seem unlikely in your age group for this to be a stroke. Still to be certain it's not or something else MRI is very sensitive. And discuss this with your doctor
