What Causes Difficulty In Speaking And Severe Headache?
Last night I was afraid I was having a stroke. I was laying on my couch, my son was talking with me and all of a sudden I felt like I couldn t talk. I tried to answer him but couldn t get the word on, at least not where he could understand. He kept saying what s wrong with you, than I felt a severe headache and I seemed to pass out. When I woke up much later, my head still hurt but I was now able to move and talk. I don t drink alcohol, smoke.

Hello,
The sudden inability to speak with severe headache indicate most possible issue with TIA (transient ischemic attack) affecting various regions of cerebrum and other brain areas. I would request a neurologist opinion and evaluation as he or she may require an MRI to be evaluated for avoiding future hassles of health in concern with cerebral circulation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
