My 71 yr old dad suffered bleeding stroke in 2002. I'm unsure of which blood press. med he was put on, and he was put on aspirin as well. At a family reunion yesterday, he confided to my sister that he just had a dizzy spell and has been getting them at home. My sister took his blood pressure, 136/115, and was immediately concerned. Dad divulged that he had stopped taking his blood pressure med and cancelled his last scheduled doc's appt, in lieu of the self-medicating regimen my mother has him on with herbal and natural remedies. Mother is rather controlling--could she be in any legal trouble if Dad has a medical emergency or worse as a result of her natural and herbal remedies replacing doctor's prescribed meds? My folks and sisters all live in the same area--the reunion took place 9 hrs away and I was already on the way home when this revelation took place.
