HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.

There is few possible explanations for his symptoms .

1. Abnormal Blood Pressure : His BP at that time could have been either very high or very Low . I advise you to get his Blood Pressure checked .

2. Abnormal Blood Glucose Level : High or low Sugars can cause such symptoms . Get his Blood sugars Checked .

3. Heart Problems : Abnormalities in heart contraction or in heart rate can cause his symptoms . For this kindly get an ECG and 2D ECHO.

4. Anemia : Low hemoglobin can be the cause . Get a Complete Hemogram test for him .

5. Inner Ear and Brain Problems : can also cause his symptoms . If all the above tests comes normal then he may require a MRI Brain to look into his brain .

Kindly revert back with the reports of tests advised for further discussion .

Any clarifications or Queries feel free to ask.
Happy to help you.
Regards.
