you should seek medical attention. you're correct that the medical term for a droopy eyelid is "ptosis " but what concerns me here is what caused the ptosis. you describe the symptoms of a possible stroke. you need to have that evaluated soon. because it's been three days now you probably don't need to go to the emergency room unless you develop new stroke symptoms such as: another severe headache weakness on one side of the body trouble speaking coherently sudden confusion but do make an appointment with your primary care provider as soon as possible. when you call tell the receptionist you think you might have had a stroke several days ago. that should help get you in to see the doctor more quickly. i wish you all the best!
