Hi , Firstly I would like to know whether you have been investigated for this
If not then MRI brain and EEG should be done .
After that , on the basis of MRI report further treatment will be started .
If Mri shows any pathology like measial temporal sclerosis or any other lesion then surgery can be planned after antiepileptics course .
If it s idiopathic epilepsy then antiepileptics like tab eptoin , levipil can be started .
Thanks
