How Long A Person With Brain Stroke Live Normal Life Without Any Medical Attention?
My husband is 71 years old, Vietnam veteran. He refuses to go to a doctor or hospital. He has been having what appear to be mini seizures or strokes leaving his entire left side on fire and paralyzed for up to 10 minutes. My question is how long can he continue without medical attention before there is terminal damage? Thank you for your assistance.

Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is seizure like symptom then it need to be confirmed for pure epilepsy, else this can not be mini seizure or transient paralysis, but this could be due to some functional elements, still to clear the doubt CT brain is must, in my opinion this may not be anything danger, hope this information helps, take care.
