HI
Well come to HCM
If this is convulsion with unknown origin then this would be managed with anti-epileptic drug and I guessed that must have been given to your father, and that is the only option he has till final reason found out, generally "carbamazepine" is the best drug, this would prevent the further bout of convulsion, take care.
