Hello. I have beeb through your question and understand your concern.
The situation does not seem related to each other. Loss of consciousness is not uncommon and most of the causes are benign. The reasin could be cardiocirculatory or neurological.
If you were having a bath or urinating or defecating before the loss of consciousness then it could be a vasovagal response, meaning that you should see a cardiologist. Otherwise you should see a neurologist.
Hope this helps.
