    Sounds like a heart attack. You should call emergency services.

    Or stroke. Time counts here. Call an ambulance

    Call 911. He might have had a stroke

    Also why doesn’t your mum just take him. Is she saying he’s fine ?

    Sounds like trouble but also a closet alcoholic.   Maybe drank a little more then he normally does and puked up his diner.  

    Either way, yes seek medical help immediately

    Former paramedic here. Call 911 or your local emergency services number, this sounds like a potentially life-threatening emergency.

    Yes, 100% tell your mom to take him to the ER immediately or call emergency services yourself if you can. Sweating, collapsing, vomiting, and not speaking clearly are major red flags. It could be a heart attack or stroke time is critical in both cases. Better safe than sorry.

    Imagine you are having a heart attack, your wife doesn’t care and your stepchild is asking reddit instead of calling 911. SMH I hope he is alright.
