no meds no high blood pressure or any of the other ailments . has only happened twice both recently. hasn't happened any other time believe this because he mentioned right away. no known family history of this.
Brief Answer:
Most probably hyoptensive state occured
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for getting back with the answers. I have gone through them. symptoms are suggesting that he underwent hypotensive state. In this condition there is reduced blood flow to the brain. As a result oxygen supply decreases which ultimately results in syncope/fainting spell. It usually occurs in extreme states like orgasm. Ask him to take adequate rest & monitor his blood pressure for few days to see if there is any change in it. Hopefully it will resolve itself and no further management would be required.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
