Hi, My partner had a mild stroke last November after he was prescribed to take the medicine for high blood pressure called Enalapril, 10 mg last November 2010. He has had high blood pressure for maybe about 5 years and he refused to seek medical help. It was only in November last year that he went to see the doctor and was prescribed the medicine. The first symptom of stroke was that he felt dizziness on the 2nd day after taking the prescribed medicine. The third day he felt numbness on his right hand. He then reduced the medicine into half suspecting that maybe the medicine was causing it all. But later on the fifth day he decided to take the whole tablet (10 mg) and on that same day he was rushed to the emergency ward because his right hand started to paralyzed and his speech started to slow down as he was in a meeting when it occured. He was diagnosed to have a stroke and was put into the rehabilitation ward. He is now an outpatient, He could actually walk and talk but his right hand and arms are a bit week. He was told to exercise it with different tools so that he maybe able to regain normal strenght on his right hand and arm. By the way, he was also prescribed to take other medicine like, Behepan, l mg, Trombyl, 75 mg, Salures, 5 mg. and Simvastatin, 20 mg. Recent blood test shows that his blood values are normal. My question is, could the medicine, called Enalapril could cause side effects like stroke? Also, I would like to consul the personality change. He became easily irritated and tired. He would really explode because he wanted to have explanation for things. He said that he felt manipulated when no explanation is given, Is this normal behaviour for people who had stroke? Please advise. Thank you very much.
