What Causes Blurred Vision And Slurred Speech?

I get blurred vision, slurred speech and sometimes walk funny like I m falling down, and I get this dazed look. It lasts any where from 5 minutes to hours. I went to the dr and she mentioned vertebral artery. I am just about 60 and this has been going on for 6 years now.

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
These symptoms of blurred vision and slurred speech indicate transient ischaemic attacks.
If I were to be your physician I would have advised evaluation of carotid arteries. Hence I advice you to consult your physician doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Do get back to me with the examination resorts.

Thank you
I find this answer helpful
