Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Please take your wife to the ER now. Speech problems and vision changes can be signs of a stroke. This can happen even in young people. She should be examined immediately. Please don't wait.

I'll be happy to answer questions after she is evaluated, but please don't delay.

Note: Consult an experienced Otolaryngologist / ENT Specialist online for further follow up on ear, nose, and throat issues - Book a Call now.
