Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The symptoms of sudden loss of function of limb and clot in brain indicate an ischemic heart disease (IHD). However, investigations are not showing anything so an instrument - mobile holter will be put up which will monitor the function of heart and blood supply to brain during rest and during active phase to monitor so as to pick up the abnormality.

Thanks and take care!
