Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Based on your symptoms, the most likely diagnosis is Ties, wherein the blood supply to a part of brain is reduced for a short while. CT and MRI scan may be normal in Ties. You should start aspirin to prevent the recurrence of Ties or brain stroke in the future. In addition, risk factors such as high BP, sugar or cholesterol should be controlled. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
