What Causes Fainting Along With Confusion And Memory Loss?

Staying with young woman who I have found 2X unconscious temporarily, grunting/snoring sound, then blank stare, unable to speak, followed by confusion and memory loss. I have suspected this is ongoing an usually while she is inactive. Saw 2X today - suddenly lay down on sofa, goes immediately out and cannot be roused for several minutes, followed by same other symptoms described above. She is now on 750 mg Keppra twice daily and no changes this time. Has yet to see neurologist - resistant or forgets that it is urgent. Need to know what to tell them.

Hello,

In this case, I can suspect either head injury or epilepsy or any other organic causes. I would like to advise you to get CT brain done.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
