Brief Answer:
Seizures probably...

Detailed Answer:
Dear,

Your description sounds like seizure to me. You need to do two examination to confirm my suspect, an brain CT scan and an brain EEG. Contact your neurologist , start medication and you will be fine.

I am slightly concerned about these symptoms and therefore recommend you visit a doctor at the earliest.

Wish my answer helps you
