Hell,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
From the available description this appears to be case of left side stroke as the onset of problem is acute and there is involvement of language function.
In my view the treatment for ischaemic stroke should be started by treating doctor. I also feel that parkinson have nothing to do with current set of symptoms.
I hope this helps you.
Thanks and regards.
