Hi Sir, My mother who is 65 years of age, diabetic, has thyroid too and has been under medication since 2010 suddenly started feeling extremely week in her legs at around 10 p.m. On 16/01/18. We also found that her speech wasn't too clear. At night she couldn't get up to go to the attached wash room. It seems that she had either suffered or or suffering from a paralytic attack. Please tell if that is the case. More importantly, what kind of doctor should we take her to? Since we belong to a small place and we will have to take her to another city for treatment, please apprise who should be seen before reaching the specialist. Asap.

Hello, Thanks for the query. It is better if the local doctor examines her urgently. It could be a strolke. Please watch her BP and other neurological signs. It is better if a physician sees her then a neurologist. Thanks.

Let her doctor examine her ( physical examination and assess her health and see if there is any neurological deficits ).
