Possible stroke? Not sure

Question

Asked for Male, 22 Years

I think I had a stroke within the past two days, I'm not entirely sure when. Doing the simple "stroke test", when I smile one side droops. I can raise my arms and keep them up just fine. My speech is fine except the side of my mouth I can't really move. Also, my vision yesterday would get really blurry on one side until I blinked a few times -- happened all day, not so much today though. Lastly, when I hear something very loud, it sounds a bit distorted. Should I go to the ER, although it happened a couple days ago? I'm in Florida, with no health insurance.
