Hi, my husband has the same issue. Yesturday he was taking to ER afrer he fainted on the way to dinner. This is not the firs time, but this one was a litlle scary. He had a TBI, stroke and spinal cord insury 13 momth agou and i was terified. The doctor checked him out and send him home. Said it is orthostatic hypotension or siezure. But the alcohol smell is a mystery to me even after all the reading i have dome. We are going to NRH to se his neuro docter. If I foung out, I will let you know.
One more thing. The orthostatic hyoutension could be trigered by medications for depresion or anxiety, alergies,......check it out
