Asking For Someone else, Father, Male, 71 Years old, Pakistan
My father is severely depressed due to covid going on from past few months, lost interest in everything he would like to do earlier. He is a cardiac patient and had his cardiac bypass in 1995. He was very active entire life and never smoked or drank. Now from past few months he has stopped going out and 3/4 days ago he has stopped moving hisself from bed and says his left arm and leg is numb, we took him to hospital and got it checked his ECG, blood pressure and everything else was normal but in CT scan they found a white spot (attachment below) on right side of brain. He does feel his legs and arm now after 3rd he has stared moving his arm himself but complain pain in his left foot. In hospital they said it’s not stroke as they did come check up but they wanted to keep him in hospital for observation but they had only space in covid ward so they said we gonna put him on suspected covid patient my brother refused and brought him home. He is better but we are not sure what has happene
Better to take an online appointment for solution of kareem
Thanks for sharing ur concern. Can u tell me from where did u do his CT? Is the weakness improving with the passage of time? did he also have any difficult in talking since this weakness? Past history of high blood pressure or diabetes? how is his moral regarding Covid now?

Also he doesn’t have covid! They only suggested to keep him in covid ward due to lack of space in hospital, they said we gonna put him in suspected Covid and do the observation on which my brother refused to got him admitted in there and they left the note saying they can’t prescribe anything as we are not letting him stay in hospital

Sorry for a late reply as i couldn’t receive ur msg due to some technical problems in the website. Hope your father is doing well. Well, according to the report there’s a possibility of stroke (falaj), and for further evaluation you may book an online appointment so that a detailed history can be taken and then medication can be given.
