What Should I Do For My Convulses?

hi i am 18 years old and currently at university. I've had convulsions before and have been tested for epilepsy and am not epileptic. however usually i only convulse when am in extremely stressful situations which usually for me have always been dentist chairs. However for the past week i've had constant headaches and pins and needles, and last night awoke drenched in sweat although shaking cold. Then today i convulsed while really relaxed and had a really odd half hour where i couldn't think straight at all. I was just wondering if its worth seeing a doctor asap or if its not a big deal
