Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that going to the ER for a brain CT scan may be needed, especially if he is sleepy and has gait imbalance. Nausea and vomiting are red flags too. In the meantime, I recommend having some rest.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
