Hi,

You are having visual blackouts + uncontrollable shaking of body, without loss of consciousness / awareness. How long an episode lasts? Does the shaking affect the whole body or only some parts? Is there any nausea / vomiting? Any muscle / limb weakness following this?

From what you said, it can indicate a partial seizure with visual aura. It is better to get an appointment with your doctor, as this may need an EEG (electro encephalogram) and sometimes MRI brain depending on detailed history and examination finding.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
