Can a doctor or medical person look at these symptoms please?

We are going to the doctor in the next few days, but I was wondering if anybody could help. On Tuesday, my boyfriend passed out while getting a tattoo, but being that it was his 4th, we dont think it had to do with the tattoo. He did not hit his head (I was there and caught him as he fell), but it is now Saturday and he still is not feeling right. He says he feels like he has a concusion (he has gotten them in the past while playing football), but he did not hit his head. He feels dizzy, somewhat disoriented, and has a constant headache. Also, when he did pass out, he wet himself, which led us to believe it was a seizure. But we spoke to nurse that we know and she ruled out the seizure based on checking his eyes, as well as the fact that when he passed out, he fell limp, rather than shaking or becoming stiff. Also, he knew who everybody was when he came back to, he was not confused. He thought he was sleeping. He was out for about 1.5 minutes. Afterwards, his hands tingled. Thoughts?
Answer:
sounds like a seizure to me.glad he'll be seeing a doctor. seizures can present in different ways...not just the classic "shaking" people think of. he probably should be seeing a neurologist...good luck.
It sounds like he lost oxygen
The nurse said not a seizure by checking his eyes? wtf ? You can only tell for sure if he has seizures if an eeg is negative!

make sure you write down where and when and what happened during this episode to help the doctor and order tests such as ecg, eeg, blood pressure sitting and standing..

hope all goes well best of luck ..
