Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: A TIA affecting vertebra-basilar circulation is well-known to cause similar symptoms.  Postural hypotension would not be the best explanation.  An epileptic event could be considered.  See a neurologist, if possible, and sort out the various considerations.  But if you are having TIA's, this is indicative of a stroke risk, and time becomes of the essence.
