I was recently hospitalized for a blood clot in my head that was treated with medication to dilute it because the doctors thought it was in an inoperable position. I couldn t speak, I couldn t walk and I couldn t use my right hand. Now my blood pressure go up every night. Why and what should I do ?

Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.
I think I can help you.
The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a possible stroke-
fFrom the query, I am however unaware whether there was a hemorrhage in the brain, or an infarct.
Most doctors use the term clot for infacts.
So I am asuming it was an infarct.
Please correct me if it was otherwise.
Now your query is regarding the blood pressure fluctuations.
Please be aware that the blood pressure will vary in every person.
Its not a constant value.
The blood pressure varies every second, with every activity.
You need to tell me the range of blood pressure recorded.
I am also considering the possibility that you may have been initiated on a antihypertensive (drug history is not available).
Now this itself may be a cause of the fluctuation.
While the medicine is active your blood pressure remains stable.
Once it starts waning, the blood pressure would rise.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible.
Please feel free to ask a further clarification.
Please let me know the details as discussed above in case you need a clarification.

Best of luck
