How to find a doctor to get signs of stroke checked out?

I have signs of stroke (sudden dizziness, numbness on a single appendage) and this has happened to me time-to-time and when I was living in another state a few years ago I even brought this up to my general practitioner. After some bloodwork my GP didnt really say anything except that I need to lose some weight.

Anyways I have gone to the ER twice in my life for other random symptoms, both times I've determined that I am just a hypochondriac, and I am reluctant to go to the ER because the long wait and the high bill I'll be expecting will just stress me out.

I have moved to another state and I am trying to decide what to do, and I no longer have the GP I used to go to. Should I find another GP? Or can I just go directly to a 'stroke' doctor who can check me out? What if I'm just being a hypochondriac again, I can't really afford a huge bill just to have someone tell me I'm fine. I think it would be cheaper and less stressful if I can just schedule a stroke doctor to see?

There is no such thing as a "stroke" doctor. You want to see a neurologist. The safest thing to do is to just go to the ER if you think you may be having a stroke. They can diagnose and treat you quickly, and swift treatment of stroke is the only way to promote good recovery. There are several things you can test yourself. Look into a mirror. Raise your eyebrows, and then lower them. Smile and then frown. Stick your tongue straight out and then move side to side. If all are normal, and equally reactive then you probably are not having a stroke. Raise your arms over your head and close your eyes. If they stay in the same place, you are probably fine. If one arm drifts... go to the ER.
