What Causes The Eyes To Close All Of A Sudden Like Having A Fainting Spell?

My name is shawn, I had an episode where I was talking with an instructor in an office and looked down, blinking my eyes trying to keep my eyes open, slowly my eyes were closing. I seemed to have gone "out" like I was unconscience. did I have a fainting spell?

Hello
It seems from the history that you had an attacks of transient ischemia.
This can occur because of hypotension, hyoovolemia, anemia and vascular causes like carotid artery disease, vasculitis...
Hence this requires evaluation to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
Hence I advice you to consult your physician doctor.

Thank you
