Hello m
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Sudden involuntary shaking, movements of extremities, tongue fall, rolled eye balls etc are most likely symptoms of Generalized tonic clonic seizure. These are also associated with loss of consciousness for some seconds. These type of seizures can occur in any human and at any time without any history. Even single episode of seizure should not be ignored.
So please visit a good neurologist and consult regarding the treatment options, and investigations.
EEG, MR scan is needed to rule out any organic cause.
Medicines like Carbamazepine, Phenatoin, Sodium valporate etc are very useful in such cases. So visit a neurologist as early as possible.

Thanks
