Hi,
It looks like you might be having a mini-stroke which is causing this. A mini-stroke is a temporary interruption in the blood supply to the brain, typically lasting less than 24 hours. It is caused by a clot or blockage in a blood vessel in the brain, which can lead to symptoms such as numbness or weakness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, confusion, and vision changes.
Although the symptoms of a mini-stroke may resolve on their own, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible, as a mini-stroke can be a warning sign of a more serious stroke in the future. Treatment may involve medications to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of future strokes, as well as lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing any underlying health conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes. You need further investigations into this.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
