Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your husband's symptoms are suggestive of syncope or seizure. In syncope, the blood supply to brain is temporarily reduced leading to brief loss of consciousness, Seizure is a type of fits.
You should a consult a neurologist for proper evaluation, and diagnosis, Appropriate treatment can reduce the chances of recurrence of these events.
Best wishes,
