What Causes Several Episodes Of Unconsciousness?

I have had 2 black outs. One going down the freeway. It was like I kept falling asleep . it was like I lost consciousness. Another. Was deer hunting. I was getting out of my deer stand. Not sure I dont remember I blacked out for a few seconds I think woke up but then blacked out again as I was falling. I fell 8 ft. Few fractures. I remember thinking if I dont hit tube ground I died. I was in and out until I hit the ground

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Blackouts can occur for a variety of reasons too numerous to rule out simply based on the limited information you've provided. You need to definitely get a full blown workup by cardiology, neurology, and internal medicine. Cardiac arrhythmias, epilepsy, straight up severe fatigue or sudden drops in blood pressure can all be equally likely as the cause for losing consciousness.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
