Is he having diabetes or hypertension? Is he taking any medicines? Any other history of previous hospital admissions? Any other medical or surgical problem?
The symptoms are concerning and needs medical attention at the earliest. He needs to be examined clinically before a reasoned conclusion can be drawn.
If I am his attending physician, after clinical examination I will get His Full blood count , blood sugar , lipid profile, renal and kidney function tests, Carotid Doppler ultrasound , ECG and echocardiography would be very helpful in delineating pathology.

Stay calm and continue with your medicines.
