Brief Answer:
Get examined

Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic

This sound like a vascular event…. and consequent insult to the brain.... You ought to see a neurologist. MRI ( or CT scan) of the brain will generally be needed. MRA (MRI angiography) shows blood vessels and is generally done at the same sitting.
The treating doctor alone could conclude better based on total clinical picture…
Appropriate treatment demands accurate diagnosis / And that demands examination; probably investigation too; GET EXAMINED... You may initially go to ER. It is better to be safe than sorry, at any age, specially at seventies...

Good luck
God bless you
