I need a medical opinion and this is the only board I know won't take forever to get a reply. My gf has been under a lot of stress because she might have to leave school. Early Monday morning (around 1am) she was crying and having trouble breathing. She kinda collapsed and was still breathing, but something didn't feel right. A minute later she sat up struggling to breathe and freaked out because her whole right side was numb -- head, neck, shoulder and arm. I thought she was having a stroke! She could still move them though.

I took her to the ER. She was able to walk on her own but we took a cab. The doctors there didn't know what it was, but they didn't think it was a stroke. Her sister took her to the doctor later that day, who said it was a panic attack, and gave her some pills.

It's been a couple days and she's still kinda loopy. Her head is pounding and feels numb on one side she says. She's probably sick too because there's a cold going around (which I had) and her ears were hurting every time she burped or coughed, causing her head to hurt.

The thing that worries me is that she's kinda slow now. She gets weak and confused and I'm worried the swelling won't go away.

I just need some reassurance to know she'll be okay OR should I be more concerned?

Thanks
