This is an emergency. Sudden inability to speak/respond with marked weakness can indicate a stroke or another serious neurological/metabolic problem.
Do not wait for an online consultation or try to treat this at home.
Please call emergency services and take him to the nearest emergency department immediately. Note the exact time he was last known to be normal.
Next Steps
Please seek emergency medical care NOW; do not wait for a Practo consultation.
