Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I agree with you that your friend could be having seizures, based on the description that you have provided.

If possible, take a video of these events and show to the neurologist.

In addition, MRI brain and EEG tests are also required for confirming the diagnosis.

Another possibility could be non-epileptic seizures, if your friend is under stress or tension.

There is no need to worry, as both the conditions are well treatable.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
