What Causes Slurred Speech, Blurred Vision And Sagging Of Lower Jaw?

my older brother is showing some signs of a stroke, eyelids sagging, slurred speech, lower jaw sagging ,blurred vision, cant keep his head up for long. These things onset in the evening, or progress as the day goes on. he seems to think it is some sort of vitamin deficiency. I feel it is a little more serious than that. He is 67 years old, has had a heart attack, and is diabetic.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have slurred speech, blurred vision and sagging of lower jaw. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like migraine , anxiety disorder , stroke , panic attack , side-effect of certain medicine , bell's palsy or neuralgia. I would suggest you to consult cardiologist to rule out stroke . Doctor may order ECG , TMT along with complete blood profile . Doctor may prescribe blood thinner along with other treatment . Doctor may also prescribe nerve supplement and muscle relaxant for bell's palsy . For now take proper rest and stay calm.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
