Hello,
The possibilities are two - one is seizure and other is syncope. Seizure is caused by abnormal electrical discharge within brain and syncope is caused by reduced blood supply to the brain. Both of them can be triggered in the circumstances that your wife is getting attacks. Further information about the attacks is needed to ascertain the cause. Also few tests like MRI scan and EEG may be required during the evaluation.
Good luck.
