hi,you must be having idiopathic epilepsy in which all the brain scans come normal.
I would advise you to do EEG and if it comes out to be normal , then it is better to wait for observation till the next episode occurs.
You have to be careful about precipitating factors like-
Fasting
stress
Sleep deprivation
Drugs
excessive work
Night work
I would also advise you to consult neurologist. Thanks
