Loss of Consciousness

 History

A 52-year-old man is brought to the emergency department by ambulance. His wife gives a history that, while standing at a bus stop, he fell to the ground and she was unable to rouse him. His breathing seemed to stop for about 20 s. He then developed jerking movements affecting his arms and legs lasting for about 2 min. She noticed that his face became blue and that he was incontinent of urine. He started to recover consciousness after a few minutes although he remains drowsy with a headache. The man has not complained of any symptoms prior to this episode. There is no significant past medical history. He is a taxi driver. He smokes 20 cigarettes per day and consumes about three pints of beer each night.
