Hello,
I would explain that her symptoms seem to be related to epilepsy seizures.
For this reason, I would recommend performing a brain MRI study and an EEG.
Starting anti-epileptic drugs may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
