Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your father's symptoms. They are suggestive of minor brain stroke- TIA (transient ischemic attack).
In TIA, the blood supply to brain gets reduced for a short period of time, resulting in neurological symptoms.
He should be seen by a neurologist and an MRI of brain should be done.
He should also be started on aspirin tablets to prevent major brain strokes in the future.
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,
