PLEASE ADVICE.. Doctor: Hello,  I would explain that your symptoms could be related to focal epilepsy seizures.   For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and performing an EEG and a brain MRI.   Further lab blood tests may be needed.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
