Hello Mam,

Greetings,

After going through your history I have full sympathy with you, I can understand the concern you have regarding the disease condition of yours.

As you have mentioned you got stroke I would like to know some more information from you like:-

1. When did you get stroke the date or year?
2. How much big was the lesion inside the brain as per CT Scan study?
3. What cancer did you have in the past and treatment done?
4. Which medicine are you taking for hypertension and cholesterol?
5. Exactly what type of dementia(problem) are you facing?
6. As you told you have high low density lipid (ldl) how much high value?
7. What is you protein status value?


As per your question some brain problem do exists with lack of vitamins and minerals.

And yes you are required to make a visit with Neurologist as per your stroke and dementia is concerned.

Hope I cleared your doubt, if further any query you are most welcome again for clarification.

It will be better if you can clarify me about the above mentioned details so that I can further guide you better.

Wishing you a good health,
