What Causes Legs Shaking, Weakness And Dizziness?

My 3 year old just had an episode that began with her legs shaking in a way that scared her and made her dad pick her up. She then got very weak or dizzy (not sure which one because she couldn't explain it) to the point that she couldn't hold herself up. I noticed that her yes were moving very rapidly from side to side. This all lasted about 6 minutes. She then just became very hot, sweaty, and pink in the cheeks and said she was too tired to walk and needed to be held. It took over 30 minutes for her to completely come back around to herself she was so exhausted. This is the 3rd dizzy spell she has had in 6 months but the first time I noticed the eyes. What is going on? Is this a seizure?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your concern, this is not the seizure, this type of behavior changes are common in the pediatric age group, and nothing to worry about this because this does not cause any harm neither this is indication of any disease, but if this symptom persist for longer than enough time then the child should be examined clinically, hope this information helps you, have nice day.
