Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, there are two possibilities.
1. Simple partial seizures.
2. Arrhythmias.
So better to first consult neurologist and get done MRI brain and EEG (electroencephalogram) to rule out seizure.
Consult cardiologist and get done ecg, 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hour continuous monitoring of ecg).
You may need anti epileptic and anti arrhythmia drugs on the basis of above reports.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
