Brief Answer:
I do not think you need to worry about it

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Occasional episodes, variable duration, number of symptoms, pattern of symptoms and your age clearly indicates that there is no serious neurological problem and it should be ignored. Infact I am of the same opinion as your primary care physician.

In case it bothers you more you can seek counselling from a psychologist. I do not think medications should be prescribed for the simple illness.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks again.
