What Causes One-sided Facial Numbness, Weakness And Blurred Vision?

My sister has been having spells where she gets weak and goes down on the floor. The side of her face goes numb. She also says she has spells where she gets blurred vision and her irises get very small. She is under going several heart and stress tests but getting the results are taking a long time. Several people in our family,including my sister have prothrombin gene mutation.
