I just googled for the health care stuff Catfisher

Health Care in South Korea - Vaccinations, Hospitals, More

here's another page with some clinics recommendations for SKorea - I recommend you use Google if these are no good to you - you're more familiar with Korea than I am

I'm not suggesting you're in danger of stroke, or a ministroke. But it happened to me.

I'm not a doctor - but any disorientation, confusion, coordination problems - need to be addressed.

here's a list of things to look for

A TIA (ministroke) is different than a stroke. However, the symptoms of TIA are the same as a stroke and include the sudden development of:

Muscle weakness of the face, arm, or leg (usually only on one side of the body)
Numbness or tingling on one side of the body
Trouble speaking or understanding others who are speaking
Problems with eyesight (double vision, loss of all or part of vision)
Changes in sensation, involving touch, pain, temperature, pressure, hearing, and
taste
Change in alertness (sleepiness, less responsive, unconscious, or coma)
Personality, mood, or emotional changes
Confusion or loss of memory
Difficulty swallowing
Difficulty writing or reading
Lack of coordination and balance, clumsiness, or trouble walking
Abnormal sensation of movement (vertigo) or dizziness
Lack of control over the bladder or bowels
Inability to recognize or identify sensory stimuli (agnosia)

PubMed Health - Transient ischemic attack
I think the prescence of any of these things would need medical attention whether it's a ministroke or not.
