What Causes A Fainting Spell?
My husband took a drink of water, fell to the floor and then passed out for several seconds. When he came around he seemed fine, coughed for a while and had watery sounding burps for a while. Says he is OK now, no need to see a doctor. What do you think? He is 63, 5 10 190 lbs. in general good health.

Hello,
Even if he was fine after the episode of losing conscience, an evaluation by his primary care Doctor is necessary.
This in order to understand better the cause of losing consciousness, that may be a lowering or increase of the blood pressure, a seizure, etc.
Discuss with the primary care Doctor for these issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
