Brief Answer:
Could be syncope or seizure
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.
I have noted your symptoms, and based on that, there are two possibilities- syncope and seizure.
In syncope, there is lack of blood flow to brain for a short while, leading to loss of consciousness and loss of memory.
In seizure, there is transient loss of consciousness with amnesia, due to abnormal electrical discharges from brain.
Evaluation would require Carotid doppler and EEG tests.
Both conditions can be treated with medicines.
I sincerely hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
