Hello,
The episodes may be due to fever or urinary tract infection or electrolyte imbalance or Alzheimer's disease etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Get it done MRI brain, serum b12 levels, serum folic acid levels, urine pus cells and ECG.
Please consult your neuro physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
