Brief Answer:
Small stroke vs. simple seizures.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Two are most probable conditions that may be related to your symptoms.
1. a small stroke, or transient ischemic attack of the posterior brain blood circulation ( especially if you suffer from high blood pressure and/or arrhythmia )
2. a seizure ( simple partial seizure since there was no loss of consciousnes )
In both cases a neurological examination and evaluation is needed to have a correct understanding of your condition, and, if indicated by neurological findings, imaging studies such brain MRI.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Greetings.
