See neurologist: See a neurologist and have a sleep deprived EEG. 50% of patients with epilepsy have a normal EEG the first time it is done. A neurologist taking a thorough history and doing an exam may make the diagnosis even if the EEG is normal.

Advice: If you have episodes of altered consciousness, this needs to be fully explored and diagnosed. You will need a neurologist to work with. Schedule an appointment. In meantime, do not drive, operate power equipment, do activities at heights.
