Heaviness in Brain Post Ischemic Stroke

My Father aged 65 years had 3 episodes of Ischemic Stroke. His right arm shoulder and leg do not function normally since first stroke(5 years ago first stroke). I have tried every neuro physician and surgeon, but to no sucess. I think there is no cure for this problem.

Atleast recurrence can be avoided, He is taking Aspirin + Dipyridamole tablets along with tablets to keep blood pressure under control. recently had spasticity in his right arm which after taking Baclofen has reduced. However since first stroke he has always been complaining of heaviness in his head only on right side. Because of heaviness he is unable to sit for 4 to 5 hours at a stretch and has to lie down. When he is sleeping position he does not feel heaviness in head.

Can somebody please suggest / advice what can i do to get my father releived from this heaviness.

Hi,
Heaviness in the head only on sitting or standing may be because your father’s blood pressure gets elevated while in sitting or standing postures. Proper functioning of the arm and leg  may be achieved through physiotherapy. It is the most important aspect of recovery of a stroke patient. Physiotherapy may also improve the head symptoms. Please consult a good physiotherapist for regular exercises. Improved blood circulation may cause a speedy recovery. Please consult a physician to get your father’s blood pressure monitored in different postures and a symptomatic treatment. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
