My dad is 67 and he woke up with a splitting headache. He doesn t seem confused but he does keep making simple mistakes like calling the remote a phone and the cabinet a fridge. Could he be having a slow onset stroke? Should we take him to the hospital tonight?
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. To my opinion your dad is on a confusion state which has many causes, and stroke is one of them. I highly recommend getting a physician consult to evaluate the blood test, and then a neurologic examination for further evaluation. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
