Hi doctor,
My father had a stroke, after which he is not interested in eating or drinking, lacks interest, and sleeps excessively in the daytime. His recovery seems extremely slow.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
There can be multiple factors (single or in combination) for such symptoms after a stroke at this age:
1. Stroke itself may be a reason if it affects the brain's thalamus.
2. Post-stroke depression is a widespread phenomenon.
3. Underlying dementia, on which stroke causes a further decline in brain reserve.
4. Associated electrolyte or metabolic derangements.
5. Superadded infective process, particularly in the lung or urine.
