My 64-year-old boyfriend experienced sudden weakness, hot flashes, blackouts, and vision loss, followed by a seizure-like twitch and severe headache. He has a history of upper hiatal hernia, low testosterone, hepatitis C, a past heart attack with part of his heart damaged, and black spots on his penis and testicles.
