What Causes Unresponsiveness In A Stroke Patient With All The Vitals Are Normal?

Hi, my 80 year old father had a stroke last Tuesday. On Monday and Tuesday the doctors had a hard time waking him up. It took 1 hour. Today, he wouldn t wake up until 2pm. He was unresponsive yet all his vitals were normal. What could be the cause of this?

It sounds that he has had another mini stroke (TIA) - he must been seen by Dr & also if not had must have CT scan
Hope this will help
