Dr. Ilene Ruhoy answered

Specializes in Neurology

Seek urgent care: There can be multiple causes of your symptoms all of which require a thorough evaluation with likely testing. The most worrisome is a recent of history of transient ischemic attacks and now with a cerebrovascular event. Please see urgent care to rule out that possibility.
