Welcome to e health forum. ‎

Once stroke occurs, and results in damage to specific parts of the brain, depending on the severity of ‎the injury persistent effects can persist. Some remnant effects can present as weakness, difficulty in ‎speech, vision defects, loss of memory, etc. ‎

In addition to them occasional symptoms due to irritation of neurons can present as seizures - which ‎can present as sensory or motor issues. Sensory effects like tingling, pins and needles, numbness, ‎visual defects, etc or motor defects like seizures, weakness or paralysis of a limb ‎

The symptoms your father has is probably to be due to a complex partial seizure, a form of stroke ‎complication. ‎

You might benefit by consulting with a neurologist, who can gain additional information and if possible ‎treat your father with antiepileptic medications which may help to reduce his symptoms. Tests like nerve ‎conduction studies, or a MRI can also be done to rule out other possible causes. ‎

I hope this helps.‎
