Yes symptoms suggest that it could be a stroke attack, now if she has no problem in leg and hand movement then we can say that it was a minor attack and will recover soon.
Do take care of her and check her blood pressure on a regular way preferably daily morning. If you see its fluctuating a lot then consult a physician and change the medicine. Remember as a cause of stroke blood pressure on a higher side chances are more for getting stroke.
Hope this was useful. Take care.
