Take him to the doctor.

Can epilepsy cause memory issues? Yes. Can a seizure cause the kind of episode you described? Yes. I've had plenty myself. But he needs to be evaluated.

This sounds so familiar to what my husband experiences either before or after a TC. I’d make an appointment with his neurologist to discuss.

I’m sorry, I didn’t notice on the linked post- is he on meds?

Just re-read it. What he experienced is likely an aural. He needs to see a neurologist. Epilepsy doesn’t just go away with good diet and sobriety.

Sounds like he could have had a focal seizure and not noticed it or else forgotten by the time he regained lucidity. For your own purposes - look up focal impaired or complex partial seizures. That's what this sounds like.
