Brief Answer:
Visit the ER at the earliest.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. However, a clinical evaluation is very important in such a case. The mentioned symptoms could be due to a sudden drop in blood pressure. I would insist you to visit the ER for the same. His vision also needs to be checked subsequently by an ophthalmologist.

As of now ask him to take plenty of water and fluids.
