Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi...My 87 year old father passed out while on the toilet earlier this evening. He was completely out of it yet he had no signs that anything was wrong. He was slumped over with hand by his sides and unresponsive. About a minute later he came to after using a cold facecloth on his face and forehead but was groggy. We got him to a recliner and re began to recover. This happened about a year ago while on vacation visiting our grandchildren. We did not take him to see a doctor since there was no re-occurrence. Could it have been a seizure of some type and should he see a professional?
