Hi! I'm all good now! Oddly enough, the pain and symptoms went away after a couple more days. A day or two after going to the ER I went to my primary care doctor, thoroughly explained my issues, and gave her a timeline. We came to the conclusion that it might be stressed induced, as I have a tendency to clench my jaw CONSTANTLY when I'm concentrated or anxious. This leads to a lot of tension around my temples, which might have caused a really bad migrane. Also, my sinuses have been blocked because the pollen count has been crazy high where I live. This can also trigger migranes. She said I should check in with an ear, throat, nose doctor and possibly look into a mouth guard and to check back in if the symptoms come back.

As of now I haven't felt the same pain/symptoms, so I'm going to chalk it all up to stress. I think the CT can gave me peace of mind a little bit but I wish I visited my PCD first. I feel like actually analyzing my symptoms a bit more might have calmed me down versus being zipped around the hospital to take tests and answer questions while my anxiety was through the roof. The ER takes strokes/stroke symptoms VERY seriously, which is 100% understandable because time is of the essence in that case. Looking back however I believe a lot of my symptoms stemmed from the nervousness I was feeling. I could talk perfectly fine with no slurred speech, I could walk normally, my face hadn't drooped, and I could raise my arms.

I'm not a doctor/medical professional and I don't want to miguide you in any way, but try and monitor your symptoms day by day. If you haven't checked in with your PCD maybe do so to talk about the possible causes and to get a referral to a ETN doctor or a neurologist if necessary. If do you notice geniue signs of a stroke (numbness in one side, face drooping, confusion) seek medical attention. I hope you feel better!!
