Hi,
In case you lost consciousness, it's possible that you had a seizure. Other possibility could be a syncope due to any painful stimulus or excessive physical exertion. MRI scan of the brain and EEG are required to find out the cause and diagnose seizure disorder.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Abhishek Juneja, Neurologist
