I had a stroke last November. I've since had two experiences of lack of feeling in my right side.
Doctor isn't concerned but I am!!
Mr right leg (twice! Has felt really heavy (like a dead leg )
Im seriously worried they might be mini strokes.
Am I over reacting??

I'm a paramedic. If you reported those symptoms to me, especially in light of your previous stroke, I would come up with a differential diagnosis of TIA (mini stroke)

Ask to see a different GP at your practice and ask to be referred to a neurologist.

If it happens again, toddle up to A&E and they'll do bloods and scans. May be able to catch it before it resolves.

If you cannot raise your arms, smile or speak properly, call an ambulance straight away.

Best of luck pet.
