Hi,
This can simply be due to a gastrointestinal infection which has caused dehydration due to vomiting. Or it may be a drug interaction as he is on multiple medicines. In my opinion, you should call his doctor and inform about what his going on. Accordingly your doctor may decide to visit you at your home or may decide to call him in an ambulance. Till then, give him adequate amount of fluids, preferably oral rehydration solutions (ORS) to replenish what he is losing.
Hope he gets well soon. Best wishes.
