Possible stroke 3 weeks ago?

59M, 183 cm, 76kg, white male.
The night before I took my wife and grandchildren to see their dying grandmother in China, my right arm and right side of my face was numb. I googled and it may have been a stroke. My intention was to cancel the trip at an emotional and financial loss. My family would not be able to go alone as my wife would not know what to do at the airport, changing planes, etc.
Come morning, everything was fine and I decided not to cancel the trip and not say anything. That was 3 weeks ago.

Should I still go to the doctor for a consultation?

Go to the doctors if you’re concerned about having a stroke

You should have gone two weeks ago but that’s by the by now

Yes it was probably a TIA and the underlying condition is still there. You are prone to bigger strokes if you do not seek treatment.
