Here's a weird medical thing that I don't trust Dr. Google for info on. Every once in a while when I'm talking I suddenly feel like I can't control my mouth and tongue to speak properly and all I can do is make gibberish noises. Usually this happens for a second or so. Last night I was talking and this happened for about three or four seconds--I just couldn't form words at all during that time. I had to stop speaking, wait five seconds and try again, when everything was back to normal.

Is this something I should be concerned about?

eta: I'm a stutterer and this was nothing at all like stuttering.

Well that doesn't sound good.

Back when I first lost vision in my left eye, I had a brain MRI that showed I'd had a number of micro-strokes. Maybe this is related? Maybe i should see a neurologist?

With you having a history of micro-strokes, I'd encourage a neurology check up.

I would, because that's the best way to rule stuff out as well as narrow down any possible cause.

Definitely worth a consult, even if it's only to establish a baseline.

OK, you guys talked me into it. Thanks.

Um, yeah, this. Especially if it's getting worse/more frequent/longer!!

Hie thee to a brain doc! Catch anything before it becomes a huge problem!

I submitted a request for an appointment at my clinic. I'm not sure if I need to see my primary care physician first, as the website was confusing. Maybe I'll just call them.

eta: OK, got an appointment with a neurologist on Thursday, and my insurance company says I don't need a referral.
