Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your grandfather had a brain hemorrhage and he has some anxiety features now. It’s more look like aN organic delirium where these changes are happening because of the brain hemorrhage.
Anxiety disorder at this age is extremely unlikely. You can take opinion of a neuropsychiatrist. In my opinion, he may show good response with low dose of quetiapine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Prashant Gohil
