Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and am glad to note that you have recovered and are free of any symptoms now.

The two common causes for temporary loss of consciousness are seizures (fits) and vasovagal syncope.

You would need to be seen by a neurologist and a few investigations such as Brain scan and EEG may be required to confirm the diagnosis.

There is no need to worry as you would improve with medications.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
