Hi

About a week ago I was driving and got very tired suddenly I reached my destination 10ins later and when walking into the shop I started getting blurred vision and as if I was in and out of it ..I then got dizzy and found it hard to work but lucky I had the pram to hold on to . My children were talking to me yet it was like I kept coming in and out and couldnt understand them properly . I sat and after around 15 mins it easier alittle to continue on . Yet for the rest of the day I would get smaller ones and got a headache .

I have never felt like that ever it really frightened me.

    Get checked out by GP. I ignored the signs and went on to have a TIA. I was lucky and came away ok but now on blood thining meds and blood pressure lowering pills.

    I  also agree,

     See your GP make an early appointment for Monday

    explaining the symptoms that you had and explain you must be seen by your GP that day.with no excuses and explain the symptoms.also

    It is important you get seen though, let us know how you get on.

    (If you were to get the same symptoms you should get to A&E ,phoning obviously, rather

    than waiting too see your GP  i'm sure you won;t need to though) But saying that and  i'm really not trying to worry or scare you that is standard advice

    I am sure you wil be fine, try to relax and keep stress levels down .

    Best of luck and good health
