What Causes Sudden Loss Of Consciousness, Confusion And Disorientation?

My son is 42. Had an episode on Wednesday where he suddenly blacked out but came to very quickly. After signs are confusion, disorientation, knew the word he was trying to say but said the wrong word. Now is experiencing a pain behind right ear that comes and goes plus headache.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,
He needs to see a doctor right away or go to emergency. Whatever caused his episode of passing out needs to be determined. He may have had a seizure or may have something else going on in his brain but he needs to be examined and will probably need an MRI of his brain.
Don't delay get him to his doctor or to emergency right away
Regards
