Hi
your grandpa's hemiplegia or hemiperesis s due to focal damage to brain tissue due to cutoff of blood supply to that part...can be because of ischemic or hemorrhagic cause...repeat attacks depends upon underlying cause which has caused hemiplegia....since your history s too small and incomplete it's hard to suggest...kindly give full details or consult physician with all relevant details they will guide you further
