I have 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 diagnosis and treatment plan.

 lasting for 2-3 mins, MRI was done they were informed to be clots in the brain ( reports not available) and was also started on anti epileptics and anti platelets he was also detected to be diabetic and was started on OHA’s, he used anti epileptics for 2-3 years and stopped on his own saying he was better for 2 months.

Later on he had deviation of mouth to left side and wasn’t able to speak they took him to a nearby hospital and was also said to be in altered state CT was done and were informed there was some minor ?bleed and was started on ? Coagulants saying because of blood thinners he developed bleed and was also diagnosed to be hypertensive and was started on telma AM (5/50mg BD )
