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.

Due to diminishes oxygen supply to the brain patients develops forget many things and when supply restore remember things .
Same thing is with your father.
Due to involvement of lungs , the capacity of oxygen reduces and patients feel such type of symptoms.
Only option is to take treatment of asbestosis.
Consult a physician and get treatment .
