I would like to consult you for his case as now the attacks are very frequent. He is also having high B.P. and Diabetes .Please guide.
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. The most likely cause of fainting episodes in your father could be post-stroke epilepsy.  In this condition, the epilepsy starts because of scar formation in the brain (due to the blood clot).  It is well treatable with medications such as levetiracetam. At the same time, medicines to prevent further brain strokes such as aspirin should be continued. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
