Is An Episode Of Fainting Correlated To Infarcts?
Good afternoon Doctor,My father is 67 years old. His speech was affected in 2015 Oct - some infarcts found in left hemisphere of the brain. He is under medication since then. Recently he fainted ( had fainted two times earliest over the last 2 years). Is this connected to the infarcts?

Hello,
It might be a repeat attack of stroke or infarcts. We have to rule out other causes like electrolyte imbalances also.
Consult a neurologist and get an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
