Hello,

Weakness and recurrent fainting maybe due to synchope due to cardia causes like arrythmia or vasovagal synchope or posterior circulation stroke etc. Also may be due to seizure disorder call atonic seizures followed by post ictal confusion. He may need to avoid high risk activities, one of you accompany with him. Please get it done CT brain , x-ray chest, EEG, ECG and serum electrolytes then please consult your cardiologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
