dear,
welcome to HCM
the speech impairment appears secondary to the brain ischemia. Hypertension further adds to the risk.
The impairment is generally reversible, however it depends Upon the severity of infarcts and its duration.
Cnsutation to neurologist is must here, besides investigations like MRI or NCCT brain is required.
