This absolutely needs attention TODAY, as identifying cause and respective interventions are critical. You could be having epileptic seizures, abnormal heart rhythms, even sudden drops in blood pressure, and metabolic problems. Do not drive, operate power equipment, do activities at heights, bathe or swim alone until this is fully controlled.
