Hello and welcome to HCM,
Hypertension is a risk factor for developing clot and hemorrhage in brain.
The clot can be removed with medical and surgical treatment.
The recovery from paralysis after removal of clot is unpredictable.
This is because the paralytic attack is caused due to damage to a part of brain which may be irreversible.
You need to consult your neurosurgeon for further management.
Thanks and take care
