Maybe it was a medical problem, amaurosis fugax, which is a transient
ischemic attack or ministroke, classically a dark curtain that falls across
both visual fields but sometimes is described as everything getting dark.
Of course a pre-syncopal or near-faint episode can also present similarly...
Just a thought from an M.D. ... Did others experience this episode with
you??
