Unconscious two times in 12 hours
Hello Doctors. My mom is 53 years old and yesterday night she fainted and became unconscious for a few minutes. She then got up herself and was fine. We took her to a nearby clinic and saw the sugar was 248. We went for fasting sugar test in the morning and while taking the blood she fell unconscious for the second time again for few minutes.
We took her to hospital and her MRI and ECG is normal. However she has severe cough and chest infection. The doctors are now giving antibiotics. The remaining tests are normal. Is this common? Should I be worried about something? I'm Please advise.
Also she was not able to have regular food for a week coz she had fever. So she was having just oatmeal.
