Pinging just about anything, for me, just about always has no less then ten percent echo request timeouts. For the most part it's quite a lot more, like twenty five percent. Exceedingly rare is that I sometimes get as low as eight percent timeouts.
Now, this is at home, using my iOS 10.0.1 iPhone 7's Personal HotSpot via WiFi from my macOS Sierra 10.12.6 on my Mid 2015 MacBook Pro. It's reasonable to expect there'd be some lossage but I have by now convinced myself that it's not actually my phone's nor my box' fault.
(Note that GeoLocating my IP puts me in Seattle, so every fucking day I get all the local Seattle traffic reports, city council coverage, the occasional Crime Of The Century taking place in Redmond &c.)
There's a data center just upstairs from NedSpace so we get very, very good WiFi there but even so there are more lost packets than I regard as reasonable to expect.

Symptoms exceedingly frightening. Had reason to believe I was dying.
Systolic blood pressure 202
Kept forgetting to breathe. Same on Tuesday of this last week. Before then Essential Apnea occurred only when I was psychotic
Napping for an hour in ER most symptoms abated
Broca's Aphasia in my speech but not my writing
Will write in more detail when I get home about two hours from now.

One of my coworkers, an elderly Korean former smoker, got his blood pressure over 300. You have a ways to go.
If you don't like the pressure, how about a pressure relief valve? Car radiators and pressure cookers have them. You could get one installed in an artery. When the pressure gets too high, the valve pops open and blood sprays everywhere. Cool! If you want to hide it, put the valve in your crotch, and people will think you are a pre-op FtoM tranny on the rag. If you are worried about the blood loss, install the valve up high on your neck and connect it to an overflow tank on your shoulder.

Doing a lot of writing help the aphasia
But this ER visit was for vertigo and numbness. Also really loud ringing in my ears
Where did all that come from?

Something that damages sensory nerves is a given.
Side effects of drugs will do that. There are antibiotics and chemotherapy drugs that will cause those symptoms. That's just what I've heard of; there are probably more drugs that do this. You seem to take lots of drugs. Speaking of that, at some point you end up like my grandma with over 20 different drugs to take, most of which are to help with the side-effects of other drugs.
Viral problems could do it. My dad got the ear issues. (vertigo is likely an inner-ear problem) He suffered weeks of being unable to stand without tipping over.
Degenerative (in your DNA) troubles are of course harder to fix. With that, you're probably screwed. Maybe you can be somebody's gene therapy experiment.
Autoimmune could do it. This can be triggered by a virus (possibly long gone) or bad DNA.

Please have them scan for cerebral infarcts and signs of transient ischemic attacks ("mini-strokes"). I don't like the sound of this at all...
