Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Fainting/ dizzy spell doesn't mean stroke or hear attack.
Is he suffering from chest pain and weakness in any part of body?
Blood pressure 110/70 mm Hg is sufficient and generally not associated with any fainting attack and should not be considered as low blood pressure.
You should consult with physician.
Thanks,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
