Neurologist 's  Response
Hi,

Your symptoms could be related to partial seizures or a sleep disorder. I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a neurological exam and an EEG. A brain MRI may be needed in case of abnormal neurological exam or EEG.

Hope to have been helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind regards,
Dr. Aida
