General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello I went through your question and can understand your concern. Firstly I must tell you that it is not common so your son has to be properly examined. According to me he should firstly get an ECG done to rule out any heart condition s. Once that is ruled out you should get his E.E.G and MRI brain done as sudden loss of consciousness and twitching s are also a common presentation in seizure disorder. I hope that answers your question. If you want to ask any other question you are welcome to write .
