possible stroke symptoms??

Recently I had travelled to an early morning meeting and I noticed while driving there my ability to read the traffic signs and business signs were gone. I tried to pronounce words longer than the four letters in a stop sign and it was as if I forgot the sounds most letters had made. leaving me unable to read.
I was travelling with a headache and once I had made my destination I felt very disoriented in conversation.
Could I have had a stroke???
Please advise asap.
Thank-You very much!

About three days ago I woke up and my vision was blurry, the right sode of my face feels slightly numb and I have tingling sensations in my arms and legs.  I think this could be stroke related, am I correct?

I had a similar experience when I went to a conference for work 3 years ago and I had a stroke.  I was walking to a restaurant and couldn't keep up with the group I was with and noticed my right foot was dragging.  When I sat down at the restaurant my right arm didn't want to work, I could read the menu but not understand what it said and couldn't talk or drink.  Then I started having trouble with my balance and was REALLY tired but couldn't sleep.  I would see a neurologist ASAP!!!  I wish you the best!
