I don't want to be insensitive, but the first time my father passed out while driving and could have gotten killed or injured or killed on injured another person(s), I would have taken his keys and made an appointment to see a neurologist to start, etc. Please keep him off the road and get him help via a specialist. I wish you and him the very best.
For everyones sake don't let him drive until problem is resolved.
Hope you get answers.
Thanks, We will consult our doctor about the idea.
It's weird you mentioned this, about a month ago, i seen this on one of them medical tv shows. The guy was older maybe in his 50's or so, and everytime he took a sip of cold water, he would have a type of seizure..they kept hving him drink the water about 4 times, and each time, he began a seizure. I cant remember what it is called, but there is a term for it, let me look into it and i'll get back to you.. also, has he been checked for any aneurisms in the brain? My friends sister who is in her early 30's, passed out while driving, luckily she was with her b/f who was in the car. She ended up having 4 aneurisms, 3 they snipped but still has one left untreated for now, this has left her blind in her left eye...please check it out, hope this helped ~
It sounds like he stiimulates his vagus nerve and his heart rate goes down and he passes out...it's called vasovagal reaction...ask the doc about this or look it up and see if you think so...then discuss it with his doctor. good luck
