What Causes Disorientation, Blurred Vision And Dizziness While Driving?

Yes, I am 70 years old and in good health, I am 5 11 tall and I weigh 220 lbs. About 5 weeks ago I was driving my car on business and for about 15-20 seconds I became disoriented and blurred vision and dizzy, it went away and today it happened again and later today my right arm started aching for about 20-30 seconds. I feel lightheaded during these episodes.
