Hello ;
I am a 34 years old female about 3 years ago while driving home from work
began to feel like I was not in my body, it was like I watching myself I
vision became blurred and my left side went numb I was five mouths pregant
at the time, I was able to make it home after about a half an hour sit on
the road, my husband told me that I was not aware of my surrounding and I
was rushed to the hospital, and had several test done, but not a MRI because
of the baby. My illness continued on first about every six months, and now
down to three months or shorter I wake up with is illness I have ringing in
my left ear I can feel the numbness on my whole left side like body
is have asleep sometimes I can not move my left side at all the different
doctors that I have seen tell me that I am having TIAs, and a problem with
a vain in my neck but no real answers to help me I heard about something
called Eagle Syndrome, could this be that and if so, can you help me point
my doctors in the right direction.

The symptoms you are describing are not highly suggestive of Eagle syndrome. There are several discussions regarding Eagle's syndrome which you can access in the "review" section of the ENT clinic. The type of symptoms you are describing warrant an evaluation by a neurologist.
