My dad had a paralysis attack a few days ago and they've found a brain clot because his BP was super high, up at 212. He's paralyzed now, can't speak, and his right hand isn't working. He's in the hospital, but I'm really worried if this is going to be his reality forever or if there's a chance he could recover and lead a normal life again. What can we do to help his recovery? I've got his MRI reports too, but I can only send one image due to app restrictions. What should our next steps be?

we can get a proper conclution only after seeing mri report stroke recovery can be very positive, especially with good medical care and rehabilitation. Your father's life can still be meaningful and productive, though it may require adjustments. With consistent therapy and support, many individuals regain a lot of functionality and can lead a quality life. Please stay in close communication with your fathers healthcare team for the best possible recovery outcomes.

I've been suffering from a bulging disc for the past few years but only got my MRI and CT scan reports yesterday. Is it possible to treat this without surgery? I'm really worried and feeling depressed are there any effective Ayurvedic or homeopathic treatments that could help?

I've noticed that every time I try to stand on one leg with my eyes closed, I lose my balance. Should I be worried about a nervous disorder? Everything's fine when both legs are on the ground or if I have my eyes open standing on one leg. Plus, I'm having a tough time concentrating and remembering things, like names of old friends and terms from books, which started about a year ago. Could these be related?
