Yesterday she complained of a 1 minute episode of left side body numbness. She said she was generally weak but could still walk and even move her arm. About a week ago she experienced something where she felt dizzy and was walking to the left which lasted about 5 minutes or so.

I took her to the ER right after it happened (yesterday) and she got all the normal tests to search for TIA or stroke. The MRI came back that she had a minor stroke sometime in the past (probably before her heart surgery in 2010) but no recent signs. After the CT, MRI, spine, neck, and heart echo, nothing seemed to be the cause and the neurologist could not give a diagnosis.

She is not a smoker, does not play sports, no drugs or exposure to chemicals, and just lives a normal life with a normal desk job.

The doctor also said that he has seen hundreds of patients who have had that happen to them and does not have a diagnosis. Has this happened to anyone else and does anyone have any ideas or information that I can pass along? I would appreciate any help.

Thank you for your time,

Mike
