Can Seizure Be The Reason For Passing Out?

my dad has copd. over the weekend he got too hot and passed out if you will. he got light headed and we sat him in a chair and his eyes rolled back, and he started shaking and sweating. he does not remember anything. he came to in about 5 to 7 seconds later, could this be some type of seizure? or is this common in patients with copd?? thank you in advance for your response.
