Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history.
These symptoms indicate transient ischemic attack. This requires evaluation to rule out causes like hypoglycemia, hypovolemia, hypotension...
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.


Thank you
