You guys over 70, ATTENTION
If you ever find yourself speaking words that don't really sound like words. Do Not Hesitate
Get to a medical facility and tell them you think you just had a T I A.
This is a real brain fart.
A small portion of your brain was deprived of some (too much) oxygen and is telling you it's in trouble. Your emergency room will make room for you.
Go right away, don't hesitate, the longer you wait, (days and the evidence is gone) the less evidence there is.
This is the precursor to a stroke, no joke, the next one could kill you.
I just returned from the hospital with three new drugs and a new lease on life. I saw on a monitor, areas of my left carotid artery, with 1/3 of it obscured by a 'plug.' I had noticed that a few words I was speaking were mumbles, not words and remembered hearing about this. No other symptoms, I felt fine. I was carrying on a conversation and suddenly my end fell on the ground, so to speak.
Don't wait to wonder about it, go as soon as you can find someone to drive you to the nearest Emergency Room.
