Hi,
Though these can be part of anxiety many times, keeping in consideration of the previous history of stroke and cardiac problems, I suspect some sort of neurologic disturbances in CNS.
I recommend to visit him to ER for further neurologic evaluation and guidelines to prevent any further damage to the brain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
