When my mother was 83 she passed out and was taken to the hospital where they gave her all the tests for a TIA or mini stroke. They also took blood and urine analysis to determine if there was an infection. My understanding is that infections ( in her case a urinary tract infection), can cause severe dehydration which in turn can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure and cause a person to pass out, that is exactly what happened to her.
