Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi Ms Becky Gilbreth,

Thank you for posting your query about your father.

Yes, these current symptoms are also suggestive of a type of seizures, referred to as complex partial seizures.

He needs to be evaluated by a neurologist and needs to undergo MRI brain and EEG.

There are good medications to treat these seizures such as oxcarbazepine and levetiracetam.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
