Thanks for your reply. I go from scared to blowing it off as nothing. 5 seconds isn't much... perhaps it could have been nothing but a little dizziness or something. I don't know. I phoned my GP's office and left a message, my return call came from the physician's assistant who told me that perhaps is indicates a detached retina and that should it happen again, I should see an opthamologist. I don't know if she mentioned it to the MD or not. I certainly don't want to lose portions of my brain. I started taking aspirin along with my cartia. If it was a TIA, that really cannot be determined at this point anyway. I watch what I eat, try to exercise everyday, and take my meds. What else can I do?
