Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Aggressive investigation and management of risk factors are needed –
MRI and MRA of neck and brain vessels has to be done
Antiplatelet medications / statins are often the mainstay
He has to be seen by a Neurologist

Take care     
Wishing all well
God bless
