Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of TIA (transient ischemic attack) is more in your case.
It is due to momentarily stopping of blood supply to brain. It is due to embolism. And high blood pressure and pulse rate are common causes for this.
So you should definitely consult cardiologist and get done
1. Blood pressure monitoring
2. Ecg
3. 2d echo
4. CT scan of brain to rule out TIA.
You will need cardiac supportive drugs and antihypertensive drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright. First consult cardiologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
