Hello,
Welcome to HCM.

Vomiting in an elderly person with history of stroke is related to stroke itself which can be manged by appropriate anti-emetic medications.

Since his CT brain is showing some blood spot in brain is indicative of infarction or hemorrhage which needs medical care under physician or neuro-physician.

Urine problem should be further evaluated by urine examination and cystoscopy but it is likely to be due to neurogenic bladder for which your treating doctor could help you.

So,see your doctor and if required take an opinion from urologist for the respective issue.
