Well, you are either suffering from electrical seizures or fainting due to lack of blood reaching the brain due to a heart rhythm or valvular problem of some sort. You need to advise your parents of what's going on so they can take you for immediate evaluation with your pediatrician who will determine the best specialist for you to see for an accurate and speedy workup. You must be seen by SOMEONE from the medical community and it is urgent you get this done above and beyond all else. Do you understand how important these episodes are? YOU DEFINITELY SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING A VEHICLE, climbing ladders, or being at heights, using power tools or other dangerous equipment, swimming unattended or taking walks into the woods or going elsewhere without telling someone where you're going and when you're coming back. This is for your as well as other peoples' safety.
