Welcome to Health Care Magic.

My name is Dr Muhammad Ahmad & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way.

I understand your concern and will try to guide you through the whole process.

1- Take meds regularly.
2- Make lifestyle changes like good food low salt and oil.
3- Contact a PHYSIO THERAPIST , he can tell him targeted exercises which can prove to be very beneficial.
4- Motivate him to try and get back the functionality of the weakened organ, if any.
5- LEAVE TOBACCO otherwise he would stay high risk for further stroke and even heart problems.

EPILEPSY:
Epilepsy can not be ruled out without looking at CT scan history and EEG , he could have suffered that or may be he suffered stoke which is not showing on CT scan .

you should learn yourself and also teach him , the first aid when something like stroke occurs, first aid depends upon type of stroke and your attending doctor can help you in this.
