Is that common? I would have guessed epilepsy...

It's that time of year. People are outside, exerting themselves in the heat, changing their pH and their levels of hydration from one state to another rapidly.

It's easy to overheat and fall down.

Even young soldiers in formations on 100 degree afternoons can fall over backwards and as they fall they see the sky apparantly dragging itself to the ground, and then their heads bang the ground and they wake up in the aid tent.

Yup, happens all the time.

"Is that common?"

I'm hardly an expert but I had a family member that would seizure if they got dehydrated.

They had zillions of tests and everything came up fine, the doctor just said it was congential, no big deal and simply not let them get dehydrated.

He further said that while they looked scary as all get out if and of themselves they weren't dangerous unless you fell or were driving a car.
