Hi,
Your symptoms are not normal. There is still a possibility of seizures, even though your EEG is normal. EEG may be normal in about 50% of patients with epilepsy. You should undergo further evaluation, such as long term EEG, MRI of brain and PET CT brain, if needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
Regards,
Dr. Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist
