@bozy5 Hi & welcome to the community. Sorry you had cause to join us but now you’re here i hope you find it a helpful & friendly place to be.
Your symptoms sound very strange & if it has happened again maybe you should see your GP (or NZ equivalent) to get checked over. It may be that you need some more tests.
There is something called stroke decompensation, which can happen if you have overdone things. That can temporarily bring on your stroke symptoms.
Hope things settle for you soon.
Best wishes

Hi @bozy5
Welcome to the community, I’m sorry to hear about your stroke. These things can come as a bit of shock.
I would definitely echo what @Mrs5K has said in maybe speaking with a doctor about what has been happening recently. It can always help to put your mind at rest too.
I hope you’ll find this community helpful for your recovery and if you need anything whilst you’re using the Online Community, please don’t hesitate to tag me using the @ symbol and my username.
