GET HER TO ER: There are many signs and symptoms of stroke. Those symptoms sound like there is something going on. Get her to the nearest ER to be evaluated. Time is brain. The more time it takes the more damage to brain there will be. GET HER TO THE ER ASAP.

No Time to Waste!!: Yes it could be, or a form of stroke. If she has recovered from that, get her in the car and take her directly to the closest ER. If she is still acting abnormally or you think there might be aproblem getting her out of the housde, cal 9-1-1 and let them help you with that. But whatever you chose, do it NOW!!
