What Causes Loss Of Coordination Along With Slurred Speech After Severe Hypertension?
Hi. My brother was released a week ago from the hospital after a sever hypertension attack. I am now trying to understand his test results. They say chronic appearing ischemic changes in the region of the left external capsule. Since his release he has had a loss of coordination along with slurred speech and is extremely emotional. Can you help me to understand what might be going on?
Thank you for your question. I understand your concern.
It is the ischemic changes that can cause these symptoms. I recommend a vigorous control of his blood pressure. Chronic high blood pressure constricts the small, fragile arteries of the brain, causing minor or major ischemic attacks, due to lack of oxygen and nutritional supply to the brain.
I hope I was helpful. Take care
