After the episode if there is no weakness of legs or hands, no speech disturbance, or heaviness feeling in body with numbness or sensory loss and memory loss it can not be a stroke or mini stroke, still to confirm I suggest to do mri brain, and if it is some thing related to seizers then you can observe for involuntary movement while attack for any part of body. And also again confirm it by doing electro encyphalogram. Based on report and self assessment you will be able to know what was that. Also check once cardiac with ecg report. Take care.
