Suggest Treatment For Seizure And Numbness In Hand

Hi,
My father is 72 years old. Lately he has started getting seizures that last up to a minute. This happens once a week. He also complains about headaches sometimes and he has started forgetting things. One day his left hand went numb. I just needed an opinion of what might be wrong?
Thank you
