One night a few weeks ago while i was on video chat with my friends they had noticed i suddenly became very quiet when talking as though i was "falling asleep" i apparently became confused at words and unable to think and say everyday words it was then they noticed my right eye was "slooping" it had looked like my right side had all fallen down,they had started to panic and were tying to get ahold of my parents since i apparently wasnt fully aware of what was going on to yell for help myaelf but after about 10mins everything started becomming nornal again, i was still confused and my eye was still slightly more down then the other and it simply looked like my other side of my face was swollen compared to the rightside but since i was able to talk again and that i simply decided to go to sleep.
The next day my parents and my pharmacist noticed the difference on the right side of my face and got me to phone and make an appointment with the doctor who then later on phoned me, i told him what happened and how my face wasnt still 100% normal but he decided because im only 23 that it was impossible i had a stroke or TIA and refused to check me over.
Everything is back to normal and i havent had another episode of whatever had happened and when i was talking to a friend about it all they said it def sounded like a stroke even when i saw another health specialist they were appalled the doctor never saw me to check me over after what i had expirenced and now im wondering did i have a TIA or was the doctor correct in not seeing me because om apparently too young for such a thing?

It is very possible you had a TIA but the only way to know for sure is to get checked by your doctor and get a referral to a neurologist. Pls, don't take this lightly. Don't let this one go. Brian

OK, It's like anything else. Get the info from those who know and be careful what you believe. I would be somewhat careful with diet and keep a sharp eye on your diet and blood pressure. Get plenty of exercise as well. Good luck. You should be fine but if you can get a second opinion from a medical doctor, I would try. All the best. Brian

That Dr needs to go back for Training. You can have a stroke or TIA at any age. Even children have had strokes, especially where a bang to the head has been experienced. When I was on the ward after my stroke, there were 2 very young women on there ( early/late 20's) One had been diagnosed during a routine eye test by an Opthalmologist. He could have saved her life. He called an ambulance immediately even though she felt perfectly alright! A MRI proved him right.
