My boyfriend is 30 years old patientold with no medical history; he is not and has not been on any medications. He is not overweight, does not have a drinking problem, but he does smoke. His father has Type 2 diabetes but I am not aware of any heart problems in his family. He eats a very salted diet.

Four days ago he had an episode as follows: while seated in the couch he began to feel very dizzy and lying down seemed to make things worse; he began to sweat profusely. After approx. 5 min he began slurring his speech and started drooping slightly to the right side although still seated. He did not seem to understand what I was saying and his eyes glazed over. He then began to drool on his right side; when I mentioned this he responded "I know". These secind symptoms lasted approx. 3 min. The dizziness and sweating lasted for approx. 15 min total. Unfortunately I dismissed the urge to call an ambulance and let him go to bed. Directly after the episode and until now he insists that this has happened before and that things are fine. Hr felt weak the following day and now seems back to normal. I'm wondering what might have been happening and if there is any course of action we should be taking? He does not have a family doctor leaving him with a clinic or emergency as options. Any advice is greatly appreciated. U
