What Causes Sudden Garbled And Senseless Speech And Unsteady Gait?

My husband s speech was garbled and senseless ( something s asking me weird ) for a minute or two and he appeared to be unsteady on his feet. He said he felt weird. I had him raise his arms evenly in front of himself, and had him smile, both of which he was able to do. I then had him recite the alphabet, which he also was able to do. He says he feels normal now, he walks and talks normally too. He s never done this before. Should he go to hospital now or try to see his doctor tomorrow. He is a 55yr old smoker - pack a day.

I really appreciate your concern, if this is sudden on set of symptoms then it need to be taken seriously because this could be due to some neurological disease and for that better to get done the CT of brain and cardiovascular tests, hope this information helps, take care.
