Blood Pressure Remedies

My wife’s father just had something happen to him. However there’s a language barrier and she’s having a hard time translating what happened to English. Essentially her father woke up this morning unable to move or feel anything below the head. He had not suffered any trauma and went to be like normal. A doctor has seen him, and apparently his blood pressure was off the charts. He was sent home, and he has regained some feeling/movement in his limbs. I’m saying he should go to the hospital, but she keeps saying the doctor said to wait for Monday. I’m really scratching my head as to what might have happened.

Sounds to me like he possibly had a stroke of some kind. Does this person have a history of heart problems or high blood pressure? There are different kinds of strokes, but most are associated with high blood pressure. If a person has a stroke it can cause problems with movement on one side of the body, it can affect the arms, legs, and ability to speak. You may also notice facial drooping on one side, but depending on how serious the stroke was depends on if damage is permanent or not (there are small strokes called T.I.A a.k.a as mini strokes, and big strokes called CVA that can cause more damage). However this is just a theory of mine of what could have happened, considering there could be other precipitating factors involved that I may not be aware of, but if anything I hope your wife’s father gets well.
