Passing Out While Driving Help!!!! Posted: 06-20-06 16:39pm
This is the third time it has happened in
the past 6 months.
My father-in-law is about 60 years old and
in very good shape.
He visits the doctor very regularly and
doesn't have any serious health issues at
all.
About 6 months ago, he was driving during
the middle of the day. He took a sip of
soda and the next thing he knew, he was in
a cornfield. He said, afterward, that he
remembered starting to choke on the
coke...Then he woke up in the field.
After this, about 6 months passed with no
recurrences of this, or anything similar.
2 weeks ago, he was driving through town
in the morning. He took another sip of
soda (he likes soda), and the next thing
he knew, he was in someone's front yard.
He had crashed into their car in their
driveway. He says he remembered choking
again and then waking up in their front
yard.
He went to the doctor and they couldn't
find anything wrong.
3 days ago, the exact same thing
happened...
Driving>>>sip of
soda>>>cornfield.
All 3 times in broad daylight
all 3 times taking a drink of soda
all 3 times feeling a choking sensation
all 3 times passing out and wrecking.
Any ideas??? Doctor and wife won't let
him drive and I don't think he is going
to listen to them.
We have to find out what is wrong.
