If you mean "stroke like episode" you need to get yourself to the emergency room right now.   Please don't wait for it to pass.  Time lost can be brain lost; however, if you are treated within three hours they can reverse the effects.  I got this email from my sister-in-law a few days ago:

Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue


STROKE: Remember  the 1st  Three Letters.... S.T.R. 

STROKE   IDENTIFICATION:

During  a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured   everyone that she was fine (they offered to call  paramedics) .she  said she had just tripped over  a brick because of her new  shoes.

They   got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of  food. While she  appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest  of the  evening.

Jane's  husband called later  telling everyone that his wife had been taken  to  the hospital - (at 6:00   pm  Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the  BBQ. Had they known how to identify the  signs of a stroke,  perhaps Jane would be with  us today. Some don't die. They end  up in a  helpless, hopeless condition  instead.

It   only takes a minute to read this...

A   neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke  victim within 3  hours he can totally reverse the  effects of a  stroke...totally. He said  the trick was getting a stroke  recognized,  diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING  A STROKE

Thank  God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR  . Read and  Learn!

Sometimes  symptoms of a  stroke are difficult to identify.  Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The   stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage  when people nearby fail to recognize the  symptoms of a stroke.

Now  doctors say a  bystander can recognize a stroke by asking  three  simple questions:

S   *Ask  the individual  to SMILE.

T   *Ask  the person to  TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE  (Coherently)

(i.e. It is sunny  out  today.)

R   *Ask  him or her to  RAISE BOTH  ARMS.

If  he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these  tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms  to the dispatcher.


New Sign of a Stroke  -------- Stick out Your Tongue


NOTE:  Another 'sign' of a  stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue... If the tongue  is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.

Thanks Callaway. 

I've had 3 TIAs, unexplained origin.  I figured that at least 2 of them followed eating a banana a day for about a week.  Evidently I have naturally high potassium levels and the potassium introduced by eating too many bananas, kicks it up too high (potassium controls heart beats).  I told PA to keep an eye on me.  I'm feeling much better now; not dizzy, no weakness, etc.  I guess I need to remember my mantra, "The only good banana is in a banana split."  Which I only have about every two years.

I'm relieved to see that you're OK.  My computer shut itself down immediately after my post, I think from overheating.  It's 95 degrees here.

Am I right in thinking most Colorado homes aren't centrally air conditioned?

I don't know about most homes, but mine just has an evaporative cooler on the roof.  Evaporative coolers normally work well in dry climates, but it has been unusually hot here lately.
