Hello,
Slurred speech is concerning at your age. I would suggest visiting a neurologist or urgent care sooner rather than later to ensure that you are not experiencing a stroke or a minor version of that known as Transient Ischemic Attack. I don't mean to scare you, but it is better to be safe than sorry, especially since I haven't had the opportunity to examine you in person.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pranav Balakrishnan, General & Family Physician
