Apparently this is what I suffered from, last night at my daughters. Can’t remember anything for a couple of hours. Daughter called an ambulance, but by then I was fairly OK again, but the paramedics took me to hospital anyway. We waited 5 hours in the queue for admission, hours that the excellent paramedic team could have been helping someone in more need. When I said this the answer was, but you are our priority. I felt fine by then. The medics took my blood pressure regularly & when it was virtually normal a little while later they asked & I was allowed to sit in the waiting room & they were able to go back to their job. They waived me goodbye, they were a lovely crew.
2 hours later I had assessment, then an hour later a MRI head scan, bloods taken, several tubes full & more assessment, then they said I could go home, got a sheet of paper saying I was to go back later & would have more assessment, they sure are thorough. it was 7.30 a.m. & I was knackered. Daughter picked me up. I went to bed when I got home, should not have done as I’ve felt fuzzy all day. Daughter stayed & answered the phone, it was the hospital to say my appointment was for 2.15 p.m today. Back we went, saw a very nice Doctor who said that I had had a Transient global amnesia, no medication & extremely rare they happen again in a lifetime. To say I was relieved would be an understatement.
Anyone else here suffered one of those.
Blimey Tiff, that must have been so scary for you. I am very happy that all is well now and you are back home. I haven’t heard of it, nor suffered it…so I looked it up and it could be linked to migraines? Again, I know nothing about it, just the article I read…

But I’m really glad you are ok. 
I did have a headache but it wasn’t a bad one & the paramedic gave me paracetamol.
Can’t praise that crew enough, they were lovely.
Its so good to hear something lovely about the ambulance crews…they get so much flak just now, and it isn’t fair.
They went above & beyond their duty to me. I don’t suffer from migraines, daughter does though, I had better warn her she could have one.
Tiff, that must have been worrying for you and the family… but it sounds like it was a one off incident & they were very thorough in their care.
I am so pleased that you now seem better & hope it won’t happen again.
Goodness Tiff, that must have been worrying for you 
. Thank goodness the ambulance crew looked after you so well.
I have never heard of Transient global amnesia before but it must have been a bot frightening at the time. So pleased you are feeling a lot better now.
That must have been very frightening, I’m glad you’re OK
Thank you Pixie, Twink, Mags & Maree.
My daughter was more frightened than me, because I can’t remember any of it. When she was telling the Doctor what had happened I had no idea about any of it.
Yes, I’m sure it an anxious time for your daughter too. I was in hospital for a few weeks last year. That was a very stressful time for my family. Like you, I had no idea about it after the event until dear wife told me about it - several months later…
Did you have the same thing, Besoeker? It was horrible not remembering 2 hours of my immediate life.
Not exactly. It was about eight weeks. I think the term is Aphasia. I’m getting better but remembering some simple words is immensely frustrating.
Gosh! That must have been far worse for you & your family, at least I am not likely to get it again, I hope not anyway.
Thank you kindly, Tiffany. I like this forum and the good people like you. It helps me to express my self much more lucidly more than I can verbally.
Enough !
How very frightening, Tiff.
I am so glad someone was with you and you weren’t alone when it happened.
Is it a similar sort of thing to a TIA?
I hope you continue to feet better every day now.
Thanks, Mups. I felt OK before the ambulance arrived,
At first I think the parametics thought a TIA, but they did all the tests in the ambulance & weren’t sure, as one said to me, ’ I’m not a Doctor, but I don’t think it was one, you’ll be tested more thoroughly in the hospital’.
I was so relieved when the Doctor in the hospital told me what I’d had. No medication needed & discharged.
Must have felt really weird and frightening Tiff.
I am glad you are home again and safe.
Thanks Mups.
Flippy neck Tiff. I bet that was a bit scary. Anyway, I’m glad to read you’re back to your normal self.
Thanks, Percy. If you can actually say I am normal that is.
