MRI is more detailed it may show a new stroke when CT does not. Stroke even past or any brain injury can be a source. Get blood work and check on mg ,calcium potassium phosphate levels. Would also stop all supplements at this time. EEG especially if 24-72 hours would show location of seizure . Need to distinguish non epileptic from epileptic F/u /w/ neurology.

An initial seizure, if truly an epileptic event, may be difficult to visualize, even on MRI, but high cholesterol and "mini strokes" may be etiological clues. Key question is risk of second or more events, and decision for anti-epileptic medication is salient. An EEG could guide decisions. Prudent to see a neurologist ASAP and collaborate on management. Avoid driving, heights, power equipment
