: A true seizure is a paroxysmal event resulting in an alteration of consciousness, and that is NOT what you are describing. Would speculate about the potential of an unusual presentation of a migraine variant, or even a non-epileptic seizure, but more data is needed. Suggest a psychiatric consultation to cover some of these possibilities.
