Thanks for using the forum. I am happy to address your questions, and my answer will be based on the information you provided here. Please make sure you recognize that this forum is for educational purposes only, and it does not substitute for a formal office visit with a doctor.

Without the ability to examine and obtain a history, I can not tell you what the exact cause of the symptoms is. However I will try to provide you with some useful information.

I am sorry, but I do not understand your question. I will try and provide some information, which may help. Seizures can occur after a stroke. Stroked areas of the brain can be an epileptic focus and recurrent seizures may occur in up to 15% of stroke patients. The best approach to fully evaluate these symptoms is to be referred to a neurologist. He/she may want to obtain an updated MRI using a stroke protocol that includes DWI imaging. Also, an EEG would be needed to evaluate for epileptiform activity. If seizures are identified, your relative should be started on an anti-seizure medication. It is important to recognize that seizure medications do have risks such as problems with blood counts, interactions with other medications, drowsiness, dizziness, etc and this should be evaluated and discussed with your neurologist.

Thank you for this opportunity to answer your questions, I hope you find the information I have provided useful, good luck.
