A CASE DISCUSSION OF 60/M ON ACUTE CVA (HAEMORRHAGIC)  WITH RIGHT SIDED HEMIPLEGIA K/C/O HTN ON IRREGULAR MEDICATION


I've been given this case to solve in an attempt to understand the topic of "patient clinical data analysis" to develop my competency in reading and comprehending clinical data including history, clinical findings, investigations and come up with a diagnosis and treatment plan.

Following is the view of my case : 

A 60 yr old gentle man came to casuality with CHEIF COMPLAINTS of difficulty in walking,  inability to speek and unable to move Right hand and Right leg since 19/1/23 night 

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS : 
Pt was apparently normal until 1 yr back then he had fever for which he went to RMP and diagnosed to have hypertension ,but used medication only on giddiness episode (ie.., not on regular medication) 
Now on; 19/1/23 night , the whole problem started at 1 am in the night when he woke up from sleep and woke her wife up telling that he wants to urinate but he couldn’t get up from the bed ;  then her wife brought a bottle to empty his urine inspite of this he couldn’t pass the urine in bottle , he passed all over the bed and floor 
After 30 mins he again woke her wife up again telling he wants to urinate,but couldn’t get up and again she brought the bottle to empty but he passed all over the bed and floor, but this time there is a new complaint of slurring of speech 
On 20/1/23 morning at 6 am he woke up and walked with a stick to washroom to pass stools , after passing stools he walked to house with his son’s support then seeing the patients condition attenders called local RMP to their home, he checked his BP and found to have 170 systolic bp and then he gave some medication ? Nitroglycerin , after that as the patient’s condition didn’t improve ,  they got frightened and then they decided to take the patient to some hospital , they started at their home at 1 pm as they live in boyyagudem, thirumalagiri sagar ( mandal ) , Nalgonda district it took 3 hrs to reach to our hospital.
By 4 pm on 20/1/23 they came to our hospital 

PAST HISTORY: 
30 yrs back he had abdominal pain and diagnosed to have appendicitis, for which he underwent appendicectomy
25 yrs back , while he was at farm in the day time, suddenly he had he fell down , he had paralysis of right leg , for which pt was taken to Kurnool , there at some hospital they gave some medications and then they had their cultural beliefs and stayed for some days in temple and did Pooja for his recovery , after that they returned to their home , pt couldn’t walk and he took rest for about 4 months and then he started walking with support of stick , finally when pt thought he could walk without support he back to farm
3 yrs back , he had h/o RTA and sustained shaft of femur fracture, for which surgery was done and there is implant inserted 

OCCUAPATIONAL HISTORY:
He was farmer from his 20 yrs of age ( 40 yrs back ) , after that from his 40 yrs ( 20 yrs back ) he is working as a security guard in Hyderabad  till his recent fracture incident , from then he is not doing any work.

DAILY ROUTINE:
When he was farmer , he used to wake up at 5am in the morning and freshen up & eat rice and curry, by 8 am he used to go farm with the lunch box and does his usual works in the farm &eats his dinner at 12pm in the farm itself , he returns to home by 6pm , then freshen up — haves his dinner by 8pm and drinks Natu Sara ( an alocoholic drink available mainly in villages , which is now banned by govt ) daily 

When he was security guard his routine is dependent on the shift he has ie., 1 week there he had morning 8am - 8pm ; then he wakes up at 6am in the morning — freshen up — eats curry and rice — goes to work place by 8 am with lunch box — does his duty & eats his lunch by 12 pm — he returns to home at 8 pm , then freshen up — haves his dinner by 8 pm and drinks 2-3 quarter daily

After his femur fracture, he was completely at home , as he stopped working; he wakes up at 7 am in the morning he freshens up and takes care of their cattle ( in their home ), eats curry rice — watches TV — eats lunch by 12 pm — sleeps for a while — goes to market & he spends some time talking with his neighbours — comes to home — eats dinner by 8 pm — drinks ~alternative  days ( 2-3 times per week ) — goes to sleep by 10 pm 

ALCOHOLIC HISTORY: 
He started taking alcohol from 40 yrs ( when his age is 20 yrs ) initially he used to take daily Natu Sara as mentioned above , then he started taking quarter daily after Sara has been banned .He mostly prefers drinking alone on regular days & with their relatives on festivals , functions, family gatherings 
But after the fracture incident he stopped drinking daily but he drinks 2/3 times a week 

SMOKING HISTORY:
He started smoking BIDI 1 pack/ day since 40 yrs ( when his age is 20 yrs ) and he continues to smoke till date ; he didn’t  decrease smoking after his accident; in this way it is different from the alcohol history
