Woke up yesterday morning slurring - should I be worried?

My tongue looks 'off centre', which I presume means it's swollen on one side? My arm on the side it's swollen was killing me as well. I'm also having trouble typing this, even though I'm usually pretty quick normally at touch typing, I keep getting the letters wrong.

I have ongoing problems with my arm which I thought was either because of RSI from working on the computer coupled with holding hands with 5 YO DD because as we walk to school and she'd been maybe pulling on it as she dancing/skipped along.

Yesterday I thought I'd maybe laid on my front when I was in bed and it had trapped a nerve in my neck/shoulder or something, but would this affect my tongue?

I've Googled what it could be and can't find anything, tongue not numb and doesn't hurt, I can eat OK, I can get the words out OK just sound slurred.

I'd be really grateful if anyone's got any ideas about what it could be? Otherwise it'll have to wait until Monday till I can get to the doctors and I'll just keep my fingers crossed that I don't have to talk to anyone before then because I really sound as though I've had at least two bottles of wine!

Hope you are okay

Hoping you are ok.

In case anyone else reads this, my friend rang 111 from my house when I noticed he had a wonky face. He'd had it for two days but if took a bit of persuasion to make him ring. An ambulance was with us within 20 minutes of him making the phone call, despite the fact I offered to take him to A&E. Luckily for him it was Bells Pals, not a stroke.

I'm sure the lack of update means you did the right thing and got to hospital -well done.

Was following this yesterday, hope you are ok.

Lizzylou · 15/02/2015 09:26

Really hope all is well Agent.
Had something similar with my DH last yr.

Thumbwitch · 15/02/2015 09:54

Jeezus Agent, I really hope you did call either your mum or 999 and went to A&E!
This could be extremely serious, I can't believe you put it off for so long :(

Really really hope your lack of reply is due to lack of wifi in hospital and you're there now.
Thanks and hope you're ok.

ChestyTheSnowman · 15/02/2015 10:49

Hope you've been seen in A+E and are ok.

I really hope Agent is doing ok.

For anyone who may stumble across this thread in the future, I've had speech slurring because of a migraine, went to A&E and they could not have been clearer - anything like this warrants a 999 call. They won't be cross, they won't think you are wasting their time. They will be happy to see you with any symptoms like this.

Allstoppedup · 15/02/2015 19:53

Oh my, hope you are ok OP!
