Now after reading your reply. It wasn't there when I posted above. I feel he is seizing and that is what seems like a fall. Although he is most likely starting to seize before these events happened, rather than vice versa.

Lack of sleep lowers the seizure threshold so make sure he gets LOTS until he can be tested.

He was playing with the waterhose almost a year ago and slipped in the water and hit his head on the garage floor (no bump, bruise or anything) and went unconscious
Maybe he didn't "slip" in the water, maybe his seizure started and that's what appeared to be him "slipping" in the water.

Some other signs of epilepsy in kids are staring spells, (vegging out etc) You talk to them and they seem to be ignoring you for minute but they are really having a seizure.

Has your son done anything in his life that makes you wonder now?

I can relate to the anger thing too lol. I always wonder if my ex assholes tempermant passed down or if it had to do with the neurological probs. It's most likely a combo of both. Some people's seizures show as anger, screaming, fits, etc with no actually visible seizing so it make me wonder.
