Forgetfulness Of Whole Incidents, Episodes Of Passing Out. Has Asbestosis. No Test Done To See Lung Function And Oxygen Levels. Advice
My father has had problems passing out being found uncontentious on several occasions. He also has at times has completely forgotten trips he had just got back from and seemed completely out of it..The next time I talked to him he was sharp minded and remembered every thing. He has asbestosis and is 75, Could these problems be caused by low oxygen levels from reduced lung function. He has had many tests don but none to see his lung function and oxygen levels. I am not sure why! I am worried about him.
