Dear lybrate-user, please try and get an eeg and mri brain for your father. It may be a fit. May be due to his bp, some blood vessel in the brain would have given way or blocked. If you can not get eeg for any reason, then take a video and send it to your doctor and consult her/him. Please continue all the tablets as prescribed.

Usually in fit or convulsions people have loss of consciousness with urination or tongue bit and post episode confusion to identify others and situation. In your case it may be parkinson's also. Need to differentiate. Does he follow your command during this attack. If he can response little bit then less chance of cilonvulsion. You do sodium potassium test immediately.

Hi lybrate-user. Please visit a neurologist at the earliest. Also, you might want to check your father's bp or if he has any heart problems. This is going to require a team effort from your psychiatrist, neurologist and general physician. I wish your father a speedy recovery.
