Welcome to NeuroTalk.

What you describe sounds like it could have been a TIA, Transient Ischemic Attack. These mini-strokes are very hard to diagnose because they are over so quickly. They can be caused by plaques in the carotid or vertebral arteries dislodging and partially obstructing blood flow before they break down and float away. Twisting and turning your head and neck could have been the cause. Nobody can say with any semblance of accuracy.

The anxiety can be directly caused by the change in blood flow or just an emotional reaction to the scare. The injured brain can easily get stuck trying to figure out what went wrong.

Did you doctor suggest low dose aspirin to help with blood flow ?

What supplements are you taking ?
