A member asked:
Is it possible for someone to pass out due to lack of oxygen and seize and while passed out remain completely aware that they are seizing? also, can someone pass out due to lack of oxygen and wake up just fine without any medical intervention?

Interesting questions: First, a seizure represents an alteration of consciousness, and a generalized event secondary to hypoxia would not preserve awareness. Second, lack of oxygen can result in syncope, and if re-oxygenation occurs in under 3 minutes, would not expect permanent damage.
