Answer:

Left Cerebrovascular Incident (Left Ischemic Stroke) with right hemiparesis

Explanation:

Blood pressure increases when a person is involved in physical activity. A history of high blood pressure can result in weakening of the arterial walls overtime, this can lead to blockage of the arteries which means that part of the brain does not receive adequate blood and oxygen supply resulting in in cells of that part of the brain dying, hence ischemic stroke.

As a result, parts of the body supplied by the affected part of the brain will be impaired, eg. weakness, decreased sensation, etc.
