HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If you are concerned regarding the possibility of seizures , you need to be seen by your doctor.
If possible, a witness to the seizures should go with you because often, with seizures a person loses consciousness and a description of other events by a witness is required.
Tests , such as an EEG , to take a look at brain waves would be needed.
I hope this helps
