Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.

When did the blackout happen? I mean what you were doing at that time like at rest walking or doing some strenous work?
What exactly happened like did fall or felt like falling but were able to hold back?
Was this first time or were there any previous episodes?

Please get back to me with details so that I can give you detailed reply
