Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Your symptoms are suggestive of acute cerebrovascular stroke (CV stroke). It is due to either infarction or hemorrhage in the brain. So immediately consult neurologist and get done1. Clinical examination of central nervous system. 2. MRI brain with contrast. MRI is must for the diagnosis. Also get done blood pressure monitoring. Because high blood pressure can also cause similar symptoms. So don't wait at home, immediately consult neurologist and start appropriate treatment. This condition, if not treated promptly can be lethal.
