He states that this began upon waking up at around 1:30 am. He noticed that he was unable to maintain balance and was disoriented and was slurring his words. He noticed that something was different and came to the emergency room. This happened before, about 5-6 years ago, but only lasted about 20 minutes. He states he began feeling better around 4-5 am. Initially he had trouble swallowing but this has since resolved. During the episode he denied any chest pain, palpitations, lightheadedness or vertigo. He does note that he drank 5-6 beers, which is unusual for him. He also denies seizure, bowel or bladder incontinence or lip lacerations.
