Hi Dawn,

 

Yes, I do encourage you to go to the hospital.  Your symptoms are related to a heart attack and a stroke but only a physician can diagnose if it is either.  It could be something completely different, but you should definitely get it checked out.

 

Symptoms of a heart attack or stroke

 

Best of luck,
