Hello everyone. My grandmother had a paralytic attack yesterday and she had speech problem twisted lips and wasn't able to move her left arm and leg. Considering her age of 90+ and the ongoing pandemic we were a bit apprehensive to take her to the hospital. We kept massaging her feet and hands with mustard oil fo about 3 hours. Slowly she started recovering. She initially had speech problem but when she got up the next morning after having her dinner she had recovered with her speech trouble by almost 90% can you please suggest some medicine and exercise for her to prevent an occurrence of the attack again. Kindly suggest some remedies and /or medicines if possible as the doctor who came had to check her said that she had a high blood pressure. He has prescribed ecosprin medicine to her. thank you.

Hello lybrate-user, your grammy suffered from stroke. But you need to get a ct scan head to determine if the stroke was ischemic or haemorrhagic. Since her symptoms have recovered partially, it shall be most probably ischemic. Currently keep a check on her bp, continue with ecosprin and also give her tab avas 20 mg hs.
