Hello,
This is suggestive of ischemic stroke which is more common in elderly than in youngsters. If this condition is associated with any symptoms like weakness in limbs, slurring of speech then I suggest you visit a neurologist ASAP.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
