ACCEPTED

you may have had a stroke. If your symptoms are still present I think you should go to the emergency room. You may be able to prevent severe irreversible damage. Have someone take you asap. If your symptoms have 100% resolved, then you would probably be ok to be checked out urgently tomorrow. Do not ignore this
