What Causes Persistent Seizure Attacks For Twice In A 63 Year Old?

Doctor, I am 63 years old and a male someone overweight at 5-7-1/2 and just less the 250lb. I don t have a regular doctor and haven t seen one in quite awhile because I usually feel good. The only doctor I see is my dentist twice a year to be honest with you. Anyway just yesterday I was in my home office and felt something weird going on in my left hand that I could not control before you know it my hand was bent over and it was taking over my arm and pushing towards me finally talking over my body that I could not talk and I believe I passed out. Here I am thinking I might of had a seizure of some sort. This was maybe 11am in the morning being I am retired and was at home. I took a Aspirin just in case after that as I was ok then which seemed like maybe 15 minutes later. I am not sure. Same thing happened when I was out in my barn later yesterday afternoon but I sat back in a chair and was fine like possibly 15 minutes later. During these 2 attacks which I never had before I barely could talk and was having a hard time breathing during it. Since late yesterday afternoon I haven t had any problems and have been taking 1 Aspirin maybe every 4-5 hours. I feel fine today as I do any other day. My wife when she got home from work wanted to take me to emergency but I didn t feel the need to go. Spent a lot of time laying on the couch today resting as not wanting to push anything and I feel find as of this letter. Do you have any idea of what may of gone wrong?
