Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
Your symptoms could be related to a seizure or a sleep disorder.
For this reason, I recommend performing an EEG and a polysomnogram.
Some blood lab tests (fasting glucose, complete blood count, blood electrolytes) are necessary to investigate for any possible triggering factors.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
