Hello,
Since there has been a repetition of the symptoms I would strongly suggest you to take him to a neurosurgeon for complete evaluation. This might also require a CT Scan of his brain to note if there has been any problems within his brain following the traumatic episodes. Sometimes, small collections of blood within the brain can give rise to vague symptoms like these so it is probably on the safer side to get a complete check-up done just to be sure nothing is wrong inside.
