Hi,
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to migraine attacks or epilepsy seizures. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for physical exam and a brain MRI.
Further tests may be needed (EEG, thyroid hormone levels, Doppler ultrasound of the neck arteries). You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
