If you had a stroke (or something), you would know it, right?

The other night I experienced the following for several hours:

very high blood pressure

a (painful) bulge on inner heel of both feet

pain in left calve (when flexed)

lack of muscle coordination (mostly with walking)

numbness throughout 50% of my body (random, not just one side or the other)

some difficulty focusing on easy tasks (counting cash drawer at work)

pulsating sensation in lower abdomen / tenderness to touch

All this said, I made it through work as easily as if I'd had a mild hangover, and felt better after resting later in the day. I'm still experiencing high blood pressure and the bulges on each foot, but the rest is mostly normal. I feel more clear-headed but still experiencing some numbness.

    Please go to the doctor. You can have a stroke and recover without knowing it but the next time could be tomorrow and you may not be so lucky. Don't risk your life unnecessarily.
