Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

His symptoms could be related to a cardiac arrhythmia or low blood pressure could cause such episode. Seizures, can not be excluded either, although he was aware of what was happening.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with his GP and performing some tests:
- complete blood count for anemia
- an EEG for seizures
- a heart rhythm Holter monitoring coupled with a cardiac ultrasound to examine his heart and exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
- thyroid hormone levels.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
