This sounds like he may have had a seizure. Sometimes these happen for no reason (epilepsy) from stress or anxiety other times there maybe a medical reason. Since he is returning to normal and doing better you can monitor for any further episodes if he has another seizure then he needs to be examined to see what is going on and possibly started in medicine.
