Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your father's symptoms.
Based on his symptoms, we need to exclude a diagnosis of TIA and seizure.
In TIA-transient ischemic attack, there is lack of blood flow to a part of brain, resulting in neurological symptoms.
Evaluation would include a detailed neurological examination, MRI brain and electroencephalography (EEG).
There is no need to worry, as there are good medications to treat both the conditions.
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,
