Hi,
You are in the right direction. You need to consult Neurologist for detailed evaluation.
It can be a transient ischemic attack or low blood pressure problem.
Your serum random blood sugar estimation also should be done.
CT scan can be as you have two such a fall down attacks.
You can attach reports to comment further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
