Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.
I think I can help you.
Yes, the symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of seizures.
However, there is another possibility. She may have had a syncope. A minor seizure like activity is noted in such cases. This is not a true seizure.
I will need more details. How long was she unconcious, when did she wake? Was she concious when she woke (memory wise)? Did she have recollection of events during the episodes, prior to episode and events that took place after waking up?
I will need the details for a more accurate suggestion.
MRI and EEG are needed in her case,.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible.
Please feel free to ask a further clarification.

Best of luck
