DH has just given me the fright of my life. Sitting at the table, he just blacked-out and fell sideways off the chair and slumped onto the floor. His eyes were open but seemed to be rolling backwards and he was unresponsive for around 30 seconds or so. I thought he was either having a fit or a heart-attack. He came to and was unaware that anything had happened and said that he felt fine. Just prior to blacking out, he'd been eating ice-cream and as he has in the past suffered from a sudden headache after eating i-c too quickly, remembered that it was particularly cold and immediately before falling he felt a sudden pain in his eye.
Does anyone have any experiences of this. Being a man of course, he'll insist that he is fine but I'm trying to convince him to see the GP as soon as practical.
