Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read the message.
I think I can help you.
The symptoms are highly suggestive of seizures and epilepsy.
I would recommend testing a video EEG and MRI Brain.
This is needed to make sure that there are no secondary treatable causes of seizures and to evaluate the types of seizures so that an appropriate therapy can be initiated at the earliest.
An appointment with neurologist is needed to initiate the medicines.
Since the medication can have significant side effects, one needs to confirm the diagnosis before initiating the therapy.
Please feel free to ask any follow up query on the issue.
Please let us know the reports of the said tests so that further suggestions can be advised.
Best wishes, Dr Mittal
