Hello
Your mother need proper clinical evaluation and investigations.
Firstly,seizure should be confirmed.It is important to rule out pseudo seizure etc.
She may need contrast CT scan of brain and EEG.MRI may be advised after evaluation.
She is rightly prescribed anti epileptic medicines like eptoin,but underlying etiology should be searched and need treatment.
Her physical problem may be related to seizure episode.
Get well soon.
