I think I am having seizures.
 
I collapsed when I banged my head, and also collapsed in January.

In October I collapsed after going out with my friend for some alcoholic beverages.

I cannot remember anything when this happens, one minute I am standing and the next I am on the floor.

I went to a party last night and didn't get home until 4am and I consumed alot of alcohol.

This morning I collapsed in the bathroom and my wife caught me, she said I was unconcious for a minute and my eyes were rolling.

These collapses are infrequent but appear to be linked to the very rare occasions when I drink too much alcohol. From now on I am going to limit myself to two drinks and no more. I think that if I drink sensibly for the rest of my life I will be fine.

I have an EEG, MRI, and cardio exercise to happen - so this should get to the bottom of it.

Drinking sensibly would be a single serving per day. If you must drink, drink Pepsi, LOL.

My neuro told me in 1971 when he was helping me with a seizure disorder that I should stay away from alcohol completely. In the 40 years since, I have maybe consumed the equivalent of a fifth of hard liquor. You may be allergic to alcohol or the metabolites of alcoholic beverages. Most are full of toxins besides the alcohol.

Guidance says that you should be ok with two drinks. I will try and stick to this, otherwise I will only have myself to blame.

I would say that a gym session for an hour and staying up to 4am didn't help either!

You should get checked for seizures!! I was tld to get checked EEG etc for non convulsive seizures.
Feel better and try to limit the booze!
