It was in fact hyponatremia. Well, a combination of it and dehydration. I was drinking water but not enough. The doc said the seizure was a result of being hyponatremic. I hadn't eaten anything since about 5PM the previous day and I had been on a low-sodium diet for weeks.
All of my vital organs checked out fine but he did say from now on I will have a lower tolerance for heat. He was correct, the last few days I've found myself getting overheated way quicker than normal.
Moral of the story is dont work outside in the sun all day on an empty stomach.
