Possible silent stroke
My dad last night went extremely hot and dizzy, had a sharp pain in the left side of his head and his left eye went droopy. He went very vacant . It lasted approximately 3 minutes. He is now complaining of a slight numbness in the left side of his face. He had epilepsy as a child but no longer suffers with it. Could it have something to do with epilepsy or could it have been a silent stroke?
