What Causes Sudden Loss Of Consciousness?

Hi I am 53 year old female and about 2am on saturday morning I went to the toilet and passed out. My husband said he could not find pulse in neck, and could not feel or hear me breathing, he says I was out for 1min maybe plus, was about to do cpr when I came round. I keep good health. Both parents died at 56, mother was heart attack and father brain haemorrhage. Husband took me to a&e to get checked, ecg and blood pressure was both fine and they said I had fainted. I feel I woukd like my gp to do further tests, do you think that is a reasinable request? Oh forget the question, had site stated I had to pay I would not have wasted my time. My apologies.
