Dad's Dr Visit

Dad had us a little concerned because of mumbled speech and his mouth drawn slightly on the left side yesterday, so he saw Dr. Hasket this morning. He also said that his lip was quivery and his left arm was numb or asleep during the weekend, but he didn't tell anyone.
Findings:
BP was 120/50 the first time, 135/60 the second time, which Dr. Hasket said was a little low.

Weight was 144. After describing Dad’s symptoms, his comments were:

Usually stoke symptoms involve mouth, arm and leg, but not always.

He checked eyes, but saw no indications of a stroke.

He tested Dad’s strength and reflexes from his arms, knees, and feet (which looked good to me, he made no comment).

He had an EKG which Dr. said looked OK.

He did blood work which results will be back on Thursday, when he has another appt @ 8:45. He also said to STOP his low dosage blood pressure medicine which is Norvasc and he’ll recheck that also on Thursday. He said if a patient’s BP is too low, the circulation might not be good in the brain.

He is scheduled for a Cat Scan tomorrow @ 10:30 to make sure that there are no “bleeders”.

He's been acting fine today and a bit relieved after the dr. appt.
