At the hospital, your doctor will want to rule out other conditions that might cause your symptoms. These could include seizure, migraine, low blood sugar, or a heart problem.
Your doctor may:
- Ask when your symptoms started and get information about your medical history
- Check how alert you are, and see if you can't move one side of the face or you have trouble with coordination and balance
- Check if you feel numb or weak in any part of your body
- See if you have trouble with your vision or speech
- Do a physical exam, take your blood pressure, and listen to your heart
