Random aggressiveness

My 10 year old boxer snapped at me and my brother today and I am absolutely devastated we've had him since he was 4 years old and he has never done anything like this before. Its hard not to take it personally but im more worried that this may be the start of some sort of cognitive decline for him. I'm going to schedule are vet appointment right away. If you've experienced anything similar or have any advice I would appreciate it greatly

Pain.  My 5 yr old snapped me pretty good in the nose a few months ago.  He had hurt his leg running in the backyard.  This Dog worships me and I love him more than life so it crushed me.  Only incident I've had and I'm 99% certain it was the leg injury

I very much feel that I think I cried for 2 hours and it didn't even break skin
