Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your father's symptoms.
Based on his symptoms, we need to exclude a diagnosis of
TIA and
seizure.
In TIA-
transient ischemic attack, there is lack of blood flow to a part of brain, resulting in neurological symptoms.
Evaluation would include a detailed neurological examination,
MRI brain and
electroencephalography (EEG).
There is no need to worry, as there are good medications to treat both the conditions.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology)
