He actually could be having a stroke.

Treatment for memory loss depends on the cause. In many cases, it may be reversible with treatment.
For example, memory loss from medications may resolve with a change in medication.
Nutritional supplements can be useful against memory loss caused by a nutritional deficiency. And treating depression may be helpful for memory when depression is a factor.
In some cases -- such as following a stroke -- therapy may help people remember how to do certain tasks such as walking or tying shoes.
In others, memory may improve over time.
Treatments may also be specific to conditions related to memory loss.
For example, drugs are available to treat memory problems related to Alzheimer's disease, and drugs to help lower blood pressure can help reduce risk of more brain damage from dementia related to high blood pressure.

Answer:
Have you any episodes of dizziness or fainting?
Explanation:
During the assessment is important to ask if the patient had episodes of dizziness or fainting because this can be related to heart failure. Dizziness or fainting can be caused due to a heart that is not irrigating blood to all the body correctly, which leads to a lack of oxygen and nutrients to all the body, causing dizziness or faintings.
