Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
It is possible that your current symptoms are related to your old CVA. In that case, you can take pregabalin capsules for relief of symptoms. However, if they persist, you may need to review with your neurologist.

Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
