Thanks for the long reply and also to the others that have responded to my posting.

My friend is 23 and she says she have had attacks like the one I saw several times before. I have known her for five years and didn't know untill she fell down. She says she can relate them to fear. She is not on any drugs and as far as I know no one in her family have attacks like hers.
She is a happy and healty girl. I know her really well so I would know if she had any problems (at least I think so...)
I'm not quite sure how to describe the attack. She was sitting down in a sofa and she got somehow a bit shakey and then just fell over. It was like she got unconcious (sorry about spelling). When I went over to her and said her name, asking for how she felt and started tapping her head she came to her self. And kind of acted like nothing had happend.
It just seemed strange...
