Brief Answer:
Medications would help him.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your father's symptoms. For control of fits, he would benefit from medications such as levetiracetam or valproate tablets.

We need to see his CT or MRI scan of brain report to find out the reason for fits and weakness. Causes could be brain stroke (lack of blood supply to brain), etc.

You can upload the reports here itself. Else, you can send it to YYYY@YYYY

Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
