Possibly. See a doctor ASAP.
If it was, you can start having them and have them while you are driving and hurt you or someone else.
Your doctor can see if it was in fact one.

You should have gone straight to the emergency room. It is very possible that you were ahaving a "Transient ischemic attack" and if you were it is very important that a Dr. test you and if that is what you had he will know how to treat you so that you will possibily not have a stroke in the future.
Let me know if this helps you.

Diabetics also have similar symptoms,Hypoglycemia and Hyperglycemia.
I had an episode last winter(Jan. I think)Did a lot of testing found out I had diabetes and haven't had any repeat episodes since.:)
You really should go to your doctor,if possible get a ride,driving and taking the chance of relapse kills more people than you think.

Here is more info on a (TIA);
Definition
Rushing through the grocery store, you suddenly lose some of the feeling in your right arm and leg. You grab some shelves to steady yourself. You try to talk to a fellow shopper, but your words sound garbled and listeners seem confused by your speech. Then, after a few minutes, your signs and symptoms disappear and you go on with your shopping.
You may have experienced a temporary or intermittent neurological event called a transient ischemic attack (TIA). Ignoring this episode could have serious consequences for your health.
Even though a transient ischemic attack doesn't last very long and leaves no permanent effects, it's far from an insignificant event. About one in three people who have a transient ischemic attack eventually have a stroke, with about half occurring during the year after the transient ischemic attack.
A transient ischemic attack can serve as both a warning and an opportunity — a warning of an impending stroke and an opportunity to take steps to prevent it.

I would wait to see what the Dr. says about the possibility that you had a TIA.
