possible symptom

I had an episode tonight where I started to lose balance for a second and later when I looked in the mirror I noticed my left eye was funny. The eyelid above the lashes was like starting to hang over my eye. My eye felt like it was sticking closed. I do have a chronic eye problem in the bottom of my eyes. My pores are blocked and don't let enough oil to coat my eyes. If the eyelid is rolling over my eye is that a sign of a stroke?

Take no chances, don't wait..go to er if you eye is drooping after losing balance. Meds can be given to prevent permanent damage or more serious episodes. It could be a warning signal. Don't ignore it.
