Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your father's problem. He has suffered from a brain haemorrhage due to high blood pressure.
Thalamus is an important structure of brain and in your father, the bleeding has affected thalamus.
People with thalamic bleed have problems with memory and speech. In addition, they also have weakness, numbness and pain on the opposite side of body.
Amlong (amlodipine) is a good medicine for BP control and it should be continued lifelong.
In addition, he would benefit from medications such as piracetam and citicholine.
Speech therapy and physiotherapy would also help.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
