What Causes Slurring Of Speech With Imbalance And Headache?

I, first my speech this morning was garbled, although I know what I am saying. Then I couldn t walk good with my walker, it was going all over the place. I, trying to make the couch, finally fell down and crawled to the couch where I knew I could get up on and laid there for a couple of hours but really didn t get to sleep. By the time my husband came home, I was very wobbly on my walker but only had a headache.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com....

slight disorientation with slurred speech and difficulty in movements might lead to the diagnosis of neurological disturbances....
first tell me are you hypertensive or diabetic?...did you have similar episodes in the past?...how old are you?...you walk with your walker, do you have any disability or because of old age you are having difficulties?...did you lose your consciousness momentarily?...any vomiting?

come back to me with the answers and i can tell you further about your problem....however it looks like a transient ischemic attack or maybe some hypoglycemia....you can get a CT scan brain done and consult a NEUROLOGIST...

hope this was helpful....
contact me for any further queries...

regards
I find this answer helpful
