Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Regarding your right side paralysis, communication difficulty along with high blood pressure, I strongly believe that you have developed brain infarction following a cerebrovascular accident. In view of this, please do the following test. CT (computerized tomography) scan, ECG (echocardiogram) and chest x-ray. Meanwhile, please see a neurologist for expert clinical assessment, counseling and drug prescription. I suggest you take tablet Vasoprin (Aspirin) and tablet Folic acid. Consult your doctor, discuss with him or her and take the treatment with consent. I hope this helps. Thank you and take care. Regards.
