While Playing Dominos My Husband 72 Years Old. He Is

While playing dominos my husband 72 years old. He is on eliquest started to appear dayzed, confused and
lathargetic. This lasted for about 10-15 minutes. We started taking his blood pressure. His pressure
ranged from 128over80 pulse rate 70 to 137 over 83 pulse rate 67 for about one and one-half hours.
He is showing no facial paralizes and no numbness or pain raydeating down his arms. Slightly dizzy,
when I tossed him a tennis balls he did not catch them as he normally would have. His normal reaction
would be a10 while catching the ball tonight it was more of a 7 or 8. Should we take a trip to the ER
or wait till morning to see if any change? He has AFIB and is taking eliquest twice a day.
