Disorientation and loss of sight?

I walked up to the side of the car to get in the driver's seat and I lost sight and orientation. I felt the door handle and opened it and got in to find I was in the back seat behind driver's seat. My only thought was that it seemed to be more difficult than usual. As soon as I sat I realized I was in the wrong place and I registered by seeing where I was. This took all of 10 seconds and all was fine after that.

You need to see your doctor immediately. Any sudden loss of sight and disorientation can be from many things including clogged arteries, brain issues such as mini-strokes, tumors, could be your blood sugar going low. Either way, you need to go to your doctor and get a full physical with blood work and CT of your head and ultrasound of your carotid arteries.
