Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

I'm having this issue with numbness on the left side of my cheeks that's been going on for about four months now. We've been to different hospitals, both for eye and dental check-ups, and everything seemed fine there. Then, we visited a general medicine doctor at Apollo, who suggested I take Gabantin every evening and get a Methylcobalamin injection weekly. After a week of that treatment, things felt better, and I didn't have any symptoms for a month. But now, the numbness is back, and it's been bothering me for the last two weeks. Do you think seeing a neurologist would be the right step to take next? I'm just not sure who to turn to at this point. Any advice would be really appreciated!
