What Causes Sudden Episodes Of Unconsciousness?
i have been experiencing times where I will fall asleep or black out. I can be just sitting and next thing I know I m bouncing my head back up to wake up. I was driving down the road and one minute I knew I was at the end of a section of road and then all of a sudden I am at a cross road. I was traveling US 23 south and several times if it was not for the grates they put down the middle of the road to make noise if you cross over it I don t know what would have happened.. It was like they woke me up. I take a lot of meds but I ve been taking the same meds for years and never had any issues
