What Are Recurring Headaches, Droopy Face And Mild Slurring In Speech Suggestive Of?

About a week ago, my wife had a pretty bad headache. She gets often, 2 3 times a week. So last week she had another headache and she went to bed and the following morning the right side of her face was a little droopy. I looked online for symptoms aand it took me to a TIA. I asked her to smile for me, got a galf smile. I had herclose her eyes and raise her arms, right side lower than the left, i asked her to repeat a simp,e sentence, that was ok. Not much slurring. Im afraid shes had a stroke but she says shes ok. Is this something i really need to push for at minimum, a trip to er...Thank you for you time...
