The symptoms described are indicative of a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or a minor stroke, which would not necessarily be diagnosed through symptoms like nausea, blood pressure, or headache alone. An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) would be most helpful in this scenario as it can provide detailed images of the brain to identify any abnormalities or areas affected by a lack of blood flow or minor stroke, thus confirming the diagnosis.
