Yes: GP would be a good place to begin , they might refer you to a neurologist to rule out seizure disorder, Best Wishes!

I have a general anxiety disorder. Sometimes, I get these weird stare spells. I feel eyes contract wide open and stare for ~5 to 10 seconds. I am fully conscious and I remain in position. Then, I remind to snap out of it. Do I need to go a doctor?
