I can't focus long enough to read!!

Hey everyone!
I woke up feeling mostly fine this morning, though I had this weird little pressure in my head. After I got back from running errands at Target, I sat down to read the news, but suddenly everything went blank. I couldn't make sense of a single word—it was like the letters just wouldn't form into anything readable. I completely panicked, and that feeling stuck with me for about 15 minutes. Once I tried to calm myself down and picked the paper back up, I started spelling things out slowly, eventually recognizing the letters until I could finally read normally again. I honestly have no idea what happened, but it absolutely terrified me.
Does anyone have any idea what might have caused this???
Thanks so much🙂

Could this be a TIA (transient ischemic attack)? Honestly, you should probably head over to the nearest neurology department right away. Seriously—get checked out ASAP!

hey, I need to see a doctor, like, right now

yeah, I was just about to say—you should definitely hit up your primary care doctor and make sure you INSIST on getting a referral, at least for a neurologist

fingers crossed...
