What Causes Blackouts And Fainting?
Hi a friend of mine has been blacking out and falling. I thought it was a stroke, however the MRI says nothing found. He is in the hospital at this time and they can t find anything wrong with him. It happens off and on for about 2 months now. He can be standing on a stairs and all of a sudden falls and gets up. would you know what is going on? He broke his arm with a fall and broken his thumb and toe. Oh my gosh, please assist me with an answer.

I reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think he should meet a neurologist. I suspect he may be suffering from epilepsy.
An EEG should be done.
Hope I have answered the question.
