What Causes Episodes Of Seizures?

I have been diagnosed with fibromayalgia but for the past year i have been having seizure like episodes. i have pased out causing a car accident, i frequently space out, even burning myself without knowing it, and i am always falling down and very dizzy. I have had all tests done to check for seizures but the doctors can't find a problem. Could all this simply be from the fibro or is it something more? Please help

Radiologist,  's  Response
Fibromyalgia is not the cause of the seizures. There is need of more history to answer your question more appropriately. I need to know your age, any history of diabetes and hypertension. Based on your symptoms you could be suffering from transient ischemic attacks which can occur due to blockage of small vessels in brain. I suggest you consult a near by neurologist and discuss the need for an MRI brain and carotid Doppler examination if you have already not undergone them. Thank you.
