Q: Passing out and shaking

Last night my wife, age 59, was seated and leaning forward viewing a computer screen over my shoulder when she suddenly fell forward onto her knees, eyes closed, and hands and head started shaking spasmodicaly. I called her name but got no response and within 10 seconds the whole episode was over. She had no recollection of the event. She had mentioned that she has been having pin-prick like sensations on her front forehead recently, and has no history of epilepsy or seizures of any kind. She pooh-poohed the event while I have some concerns. If this had happened while she was driving... Shouldn't she go to a doctor now?
