A 57-year-old woman presents to A&E, following a funny episode earlier that day

A 57-year-old woman presents to A&E following a funny episode earlier that day. She describes her right arm suddenly becoming weak and “full of pins and needles”. This lasted for around 20 minutes, and she now feels entirely back to normal. Her past medical history includes hypertension and rheumatoid arthritis. A CT head is done, which has no significant findings, and a full neurological examination is normal.
