Am a 26-year-old male having recurrent episodes of neurological-type symptoms:
• right-sided heaviness/“weakness” feeling (hand and foot more noticeable)
• dizziness/light-headedness
• mild head pressure
There is no objective weakness — I can lift my arm and leg, walk normally, walk on heels/toes, grip objects, and do fine finger movements. Strength and coordination appear normal, but the right side feels achy/heavy.
These episodes do not start suddenly like a stroke and usually last for several hours.
History:
• 2024: similar episode → CT brain normal
• March 2025: severe episode → MRI brain normal
• Symptom-free for months, now symptoms have returned since yesterday/today.
I want to know the possible causes, whether any further evaluation is needed, and how to manage or prevent these episodes.

You may be having TIA but it is unusal for your age group
You should consult a neurosurgeon/ neurologist during symptomatic phase for proper evaluation to arrive at the diagnosis
