Two concerns:

- You should definitely have imaging done to see if you can identify a cause.

- If you have seizures, you should definitely NOT be driving a car, for your safety and the safety of everyone around you

Please get this checked out immediately...

You're absolutely right, but there's one problem: it's hard to get in for an immediate checkup and there's a good chance he'll forget about scheduling one.

Instead, he should tell a family member or close friend right away. Then they can help him make the proper medical appointments, etc.

When I got home from the hospital after the worst of my seizures, I found the instructions that were given to my mother. She was advised not to permit me to go outside unescorted.

She had put it with my stuff then never mentioned it.

Mom is actually quite an intelligent woman but sometimes she can be a little daft.
