Brief Answer:
Needs work up and management

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Thickness of tongue, sudden fatigue and confusion at age of 66 should be evaluated for any neurological illness like transient ischemic attack. I would suggest baseline work up, carotid artery doppler, brain work up after discussing the odds with your doctor. Complete neurological assessment is advised. Better safe than sorry.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
