Hi,
Don't feel scared at all. In today's scientific era, your problem will be solved for sure. How many times did these episodes happen? I suggest you to get an MRI brain multiplanar, multi-echo MR sequence to be done to get an extract root cause of your problem. Do you have any of these symptoms?:
Temporary confusion
A staring spell
Uncontrollable jerking movements of the arms and legs
Loss of consciousness or awareness
If you are not experiencing any of the above symptoms then it is an effect of long term use of pain killers (excedrin). The pain killers (Excedrin or Tylenol) which you are taking have some side effects:
Nausea
Headache
Feeling jittery
Trouble sleeping
Please stop taking pain killers and increase your fluid uptake so that it can be flushed out of your body.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
