What Causes Vomiting And Seizure After Viewing A Magic Show?

My brother just saw a magic trick and the magician picked his girlfriend out of the crowd. long story short. the magician had her push a quarter in his eye and moved it all the way through his face and out of his mouth. after seeing that my older brother became light headed. we walked into the casino and he sat down. after he though he felt better he got up and started walking again. i thought he just needed to drink water.. then he started falling and he ended up having a seizure and throwing up. i guess at the same time. please. help.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi and thank you so much for this query

I am so sorry to hear about what your brother experienced. This is a transient occurrence and would abate. This has got all to do with the somewhat magical things he observed that interfered with his balance and probably affected the inner ear. It would go away soon and needs no medical intervention.

I hope this helps. I wish your brother well.
