What Causes Head To Fall On One Side With Drooling From Mouth?
My 69 year old father is all of a sudden holding his head to the left side. No matter how many times he raises it to a straight level, it falls to the left. I also noticed him drooling a little out of the left hand side. Are these symptoms of a stroke? There is no facial distortion to show evidence of a stroke.

Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having Hemiplegia developed due to brain stroke.
Consult neuro physician and get examined.
Go for regular blood pressure checking.
Ok and take care.
