Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband became unconscious when coughing earlier this evening. This is the 3rd time I have witnessed this in 2 years and I am very concerned. He told me that he believes that it has happened on other occasions and that he may have had a seizure as well on one occasion when he fell backwards down the stairs. What do you advise? He does not go to the Gp ?
He can get examined by a neurologist for seizures doing an EEG to get evaluated. He has symptoms of epilepsy. Also, a total blood chemistry up should be done to evaluate his overall health.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
