Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You are fainting on an average once in an year, in spite of your good health, and no medical history.
It appears to be due to the epilepsy, in some people, it may happen with out the movement of the hands and legs.
You may need to have E.E.G., C.T.scan, etc for confirmation of the disease.
Periodicity may be due to your exposure to some external stimuli during that particular period.
Inverted slant test actually i have never come across.
Wishing for a good luck. Thank you.
I find this answer helpful
