Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
You ought to consult your neurologist again – Atypical seizures or cerebrovascular insufficiency need to be excluded. / EEG and MRI may be needed. MRA (MRI angiography) shows blood vessels and is generally done at the same sitting.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
