Welcome to healthcare magic.
There are many causes of such a incidence in this old age.
Some baseline investigation inv. are needed to find out the cause.
particularly rbs,ecg,renal function,cbc have to do to exclude some common causes.
the common causes in this age are tia,hypoglycemia,autonomic neuropathy,cardiac conduction defect etc.
it is better for him to consult a doctor.
take care.
