Unhappy Falling asleep while standing up

My dog who is nearly 15 has started to fall asleep while standing up. Sometimes he's so deep that he falls over. Is it something I should worry about or is he just getting old?

He's a terrier cross, bit like a large Jack. Couple of people have said it might be some sort of collapse or seizure so I think I'll take him to the vets.
