Hi,
Thanks for writin in.
It suggests that your father may be having neurological problems (organic disease or autonomic function imbalance).
Kindly consult a neurologist to rule out the cause.
Investigations like an MRI scan and autonomic function tests along with an EEG shall help.
Kindly take care that he take time to get up using support.

Dr.Riyanka
