What Could Cause Sudden Episode Of Loss Of Responsiveness?

My mom is 91 and I took her to her pcp yesterday. The tech tried to take her blood pressure 3 times with no results. Shortly my mom s head dropped and she became unresponsive. Her eyes were somewhat open and her mouth was open and she began to drool. This lasted for a minute or more before I grabbed a wet cloth and put it to her forehead and wiped her face and mouth and also began to fan her with another moist cloth. She slowly came back to life by first yawning a few times before she was able to raise her head and become responsive. What happened here? Thank you

Hello sir/ ma'am.. I am Neurologist. your history suggestive that your mom had seizure/Fit attack. I think it's first attack so you didn't k ow about it. But any cause of sudden unconsciousness we should evaluate with MRI Brain and EEG and some routine blood test please go through routine work up of seizure..

Thank you.
