Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about what your father in law experienced. This probably represents a malaise. A one time occurrence is not of great concerns but should it occur again, then we must take it seriously. Should this happen again, please seek immediate medical evaluation for appropriate diagnosis and management. A primary care physician would provide a good point of entry.
I hope this helps. I wish you well and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
