Suggest Remedy For Recurring Bouts Of Temporary Disorientation

My son in law, age 43, has been having temporary disorientation that lasts about 10 - 15 seconds. This started almost a year ago but they have become more frequent. Yesterday he had two bouts. One, he needed to go to the bathroom in his home but he couldn t figure out how to get there. Any suggestions?

Hello,

Temporary disorientation is suggestive of a neurological disorder. Any kind of head trauma needs to be ruled out. I suggest you to consult a neurologist for clinical assessment and CT head to look for any abnormality / trauma.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
