My father is of age 70. He had gone through a CT scan and reports found is Cortical Atrophy. He had a CT scan last month also, but doctors told that compared to last month, that Cortical Atrophy is more i.e. growing.Between last month and this month my father had an accident and for that plates has been inserted in his legs after operation. For thathis sodium and potassium has fall down and suddenly one day he stopped talking and even was not opening his eyes. We hospitalized himand them doctor told us that was due to lack of sodium and potassium. Then they suggested to do a CT Scan again and there after we come to know that Cortical Atrophy is increasing. Now they has asked to visit a psychiatrist and neurologist for consultation. Please suggest remedies.He has high blood pressure these days avg 180 - 95.
