Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
It is unfortunate that your father has a neurological problem, without clear cut diagnosis and he is not getting better.
An MRI scan of brain would confirm whether or not he had a stroke.
Other possibilities to be considered are lack of oxygen supply to brain, effect of electrolyte imbalance, or drugs or toxins on the brain.
I would be pleased to help you further in terms of diagnosis and treatment.
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology)
