Seen quickly in A&E

After going to my GP with concerns she told me to go to A&E to have the right sided weakness looked at. I was seen by the stroke team quickly on arrival, they did a CT scan and blood tests but ruled out a stroke. They weren't really sure what the issues were but did identify that I was dehydrated. I was in for 6 hours roughly and then I was discharged home although I would rather have stayed over night.
