Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I think there is a great chance that you had a stroke with all the signs and laboratory test that you showed. I think you should have a CT and or MRI of the brain and see a neurologist.

Wish you quick recovery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Edvin Selmani
