What Causes Sudden Memory Loss?

My husband was working in the kitchen and lost about 10-15 minutes where he doesn t remember what he did and did a few odd things regarding food preparation that he would never normally do. Very, very scarey. He has no ill physical feelings, no dizzyness, no headache, etc. What could possibly cause this?

Hello,

If it is an isolated event, then it can be due to partial epilepsy or transient ischemic attack. Consult a neurologist to be on the safe side.
