Please no trolling or BS. I know we have some intellectuals here, so let me explain all the testing I've undergone over 34 years.
The first episode was while watching Poltergeist on tv the first time it aired, I was 4. Shrink said it's impossible to remember that far back, he was a dumb shit. 9 years old, diagnosed with a fainting disorder. 14 yrs old, I was fully tested for epilepsy, nothing. EEG, MRI, and an EKG. Nothing. 2014 same tests, nothing. 48 hour EEG, nothing. Over the last couple of months, the same EEG, EKG, no MRI. 48-hour EEG with multiple episodes, nothing showed for epilepsy.
Thoughts and ideas?

A seizure can be anything from dropping to the floor and having convulsions to just spacing out for a brief period of time and then returning to "reality" and realizing something weird just happened but you can't recall exactly what happened.

The latter is typically due to a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack) which is also referred to as a "mini stroke".

My dad's gotten them for years. An MRI showed some scar tissue in his brain. Nothing specific was diagnosed, most often it isn't. Certain medications can reduce or eliminate the prevalence of these events.

Have medical staff advised you of any medications to take?
