Brief Answer:
Stroke can be the reason.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Thank you for the query.

As you probably know you are in a high risk group of stroke. Symtoms mentioned by you can be caused by some stroke.
So you should not wait any longer and have brain CT done as soon as possible.

Hope this helps.
Regards
