Dear Solano
Thank you for visiting health24.com.
It sounds like if your brother is suffering from Grand Mal Epilepsy. There is medication that he can take to prevent these attacks. Treatment will be prescribed according to the cause of the attacks and he will therefore, have to consult a Neurologist, in order to have a proper diagnosis made.
Kind regards
Dr Anrich Burger
