My best friends fiance has been having "episodes" for about the past 6 months. Occassionally after meals, he blacks out and losses motor skills. His eyes will shut or start rolling in the back of his head, and he becomes unresponsive unless splashed with water. They last about 30 seconds to 1 min. Last night he had a severe one that lasted about 30 mins. His posture became slouchy, his eyes started rolling around, he began to slowly spin in circles while standing and his tongue was hanging out of his mouth. At the ER they ran a bunch of bloodwork and gave him a catscan. Everything came back normal so they sent him home and his general physician is saying this is nothing to worry about because he has sleep apnea and "after he eats, blood is rushing to his stomach"? Has anyone experienced anything like this before or heard of any medication that might cause similar symptoms? He is ADHD and also has sleep apnea, he doesn’t drink or do drugs. Any suggestions are appreciated!
