Medical - Medical: Cardiology
Spanish term or phrase: sin focalizacion
Mientras almorzaba, paciente presenta dolor toracico irradiado a region dorsal y hombros bilateral, con perdida de tono postural sin relajacion de esfinteres con perdida de conocimiento por varios minutos, con recuperacion posterior sin focalizacion, motivo por el cual es traido a urgencias.

In the physical exam notes, everything is normal (except for notes about heart disease), and the patient has nothing wrong with his eyes or mental status, so I have no idea what sort of lack of "focus" or "focalization" the text is referring to. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Reference information:
"Focal neurologic signs, also known as focal neurological deficits or focal CNS signs, are impairments of nerve, spinal cord, or brain function that affect a specific region of the body, e.g. weakness in the left arm, the right leg, paresis, or plegia."

Another definition: "A focal neurologic deficit consists of a set of symptoms or signs in which causation can be localized to an anatomic site in the central nervous system. "
