Friends who witnessed the attacks reported that her face turned pale and she sweated profusely and fell to her right side while sitting. No jerks were noted and she recovered promptly after some 30 seconds of unconsciousness. Two of the attacks were associated with urinary incontinence. Two episodes occurred when she was standing upright, and two attacks came on while she was seated. All four occurred during menstruation but apart from that no particular precipitating factors could be identified. One distant relative had epilepsy but otherwise the family history was negative for epilepsy.
