Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
See, a doctor can't check your epilepsy by your walking style, but he must be looking for any ataxia, inc-ordination that can occur as a result of anti epileptic medications.
In general, you should get MRI Brain and EEG to see for any pathological cause for your epilepsy.
If every thing is normal, you can be treated as Idiopathic Seizure disorder, and if you have no seizures on medications, it simply means medications are working.

This is my best opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
