Funny turn

My DH had a funny turn on his train journey home where he suddenly realised that he couldn't read. Not that he couldn't see the words but he couldn't interpret them. He is now back to normal (with a headache), how concerned should he be? I reckon it warrants a trip to the GP.

I would definitely get him to see the GP - there's a chance it was a TIA

He should phone out of hours doctor. This definitely sounds like a TIA (mini stroke) You are never too old to have a stroke/mini stroke. Babies in the womb have had strokes.

Thanks for replying. He's not keen to go but I hope I have managed to convince him.
