I really think you should get an MRI of the brain.
From that description, it is really difficult to say what you may have.
Neither can be ruled out- seizure or transient ischemic stroke (lets call it ministroke).
I frankly think I would have favored the diagnosis of partial seizures with generalization more than the other. But the latter diagnosis cannot be ruled out and is a significant diagnosis if true.
I would suggest testing an MRI, EEG, Carotid Doppler
These may help differentiate the conditions
Best of luck
