The Doc checked his reflexes, asked him questions about what happened, read the description his co-worker gave, and looked over the EEG results, which he also saw for the first time Thursday, as well.
I read the report, as well, later that evening. ;-D
The EEG Report described the System used, and what happened during the test.
Basically the report concluded that even though it was a normal Awake & Drowsy EEG...there appears to be some episodes of Heart Block on the EEG which needs evaluation (A heart rate of 60 beats per min, with some dropped beats, sometimes occuring as often as every 3rd beat...).
The Doc is of the opinion that what happened to Daddy could have been caused by heart blockage issues, and is going to tell his personal Doc that he recommends Daddy gets an MRI, and possibly even a Cardiac Work-up, and finish out the pill prescription he's currently on in the meantime.
Either Monday, or Tuesday (They might be closed due to the Holiday Weekend.), Daddy will call his Doc to arrainge the recommended tests.
Daddy also has had real sore knees, since Thursday, and plans to ask his Doc about them as well.
Thank you, everyone, for your support, and encouragement, as we try to figure out what's up with Daddy. ;-D
Lets hope the MRI and other tests happen soon so your Dad knows what's up and it can be treated quickly.
Rumbly purrs

So much jargon - do the vets tell humans these sort of things about US?
I hope everything turns out well for your human!

We hope your Daddy gets an appointment very soon with his Doctor to get his tests ordered.
In the meantime keep giving him plenty of purr therapy.

Most certainly a cardiac work up is essential.
An MRI would be a good test as well.
Ask the doc for a recommendation for a good heart doc, one that listens.
