Did my mom have a mini-stroke?

About 20 min ago my mom who is 61 years old was sitting on the couch reading something and she said she got like pressure in her nose and she felt really weird like she was out of it or "leaving her body" for a few seconds. She said it was scary. She does have diabetes but her blood sugar wasn't real high when we just took it, and her blood presure was like 107/70 and pulse about 100. Don't know why her pulse is high.

She says she feels fine now and does not want to go in to the DR. She does smoke. Should she go in?

It could be something scary like a mini-stroke, or it could be a temporary irregular heart-beat. If it happens again, go to ER.
If you have good insurance, go to the ER now. Usually with even a mini-stroke there is temporary numbness or paralysis of some kind. She should be watched for the next 24 hrs and be careful getting up on her feet from a sitting or lying position for awhile. Good luck.

heart attack, please tell her to go to er. I had the big strokes, and mini strokes, the heart attack is a warning, loss of vision>
