need help with medical problem for my dad?

ok my dad is almost a year into recovery from a traumatic brain injury. He has for the last 6 months blacking out ( not sure what to call it) his muscles stiffen, and he has no memory of how he ended up where he is. he is also very confused when he comes to. he has been back into the hospital many times but they cant find out what is going on. They keep saying they aren't sure what is going on and it could be his diabetes. His sugar is high at times but not all the time. He is also constantly dealing with never ending headaches. I need help for him. My parents have a court case with the hospital dealing with how my dad got the traumatic brain injury. I am very worried about him. My mom is now wondering if he is faking the falling spells and the muscles being stiff because of the hospital not being able to find out what is wrong with him.

Update:

also wanted to know if there is anyway for him to be faking these? as the doctors can find nothing.
