Couple of weeks ago I had my second episode in four years. My wife has pinned a tag on my shirt If found wandering around, please return,,,, Hmmm, how do we tell the difference between me shopping at Home Depot ,, and wandering around?? Maybe I will trigger a Silver Alert with the next trip!

Scary and not to be taken lightly. I hope the neurologist finds an answer for you.

I will do a little follow up on this,, the reason for my episode was not diagnosed, by the neurologist I went to. 70% of these are not diagnosed, which is a good thing. Because the 30% that are diagnosed are caused by Brain tumors, heart problems, seizures, or strokes. It appears that I didn't have any of those. Hey, I am going great!!

I went back to my neurologist, after the last heart issue we thought it wouldn't hurt. Also for dizziness, they did some kind of weird testing and actually helped the dizziness, wow. They found no cognitive decline, very high score, no alzheimers or dementia at least not yet. But I feel better for having gone, with health issues like these does not hurt to followup and may give early warning where you can get help. Hope you stay ok, old age is not for the weak of mind or heart.
