What you described is epilepsy. It would be prudent to consult a neurologist for evaluation and treatment. I trust that you are not driving or operating heavy machinery.

If you had true epileptic episodes, you absolutely need anti epilepsy meds. Until fully controlled with therapeutic drug levels, do NOT drive, do activities at heights, or operate power equipment
