@bigj This is just an uneducated guess, but a TIA (transient ischemic attack). A brain bleed or a small clot blocked supply to part of your cerebral cortex's blood supply and you have the experience you describe. I don't know anything about you, your age, your other health factors, but is sounds a lot to me like a lack of oxygen to part of your advanced thinking center. Had you been evaluated at the time, your blood may have shown the D-dimer protein that shows the body is attempting to dissolve a clot. I am sorry that this happened to you. Must be very troubling.
