I am sorry but I am not a medical professional and would not be able to tell you what is going on. When your neurologist said it was not seizures, did he make any suggestions on what to do now or what type of doctor you should see to further look into what may be the matter?

I'm not a doctor either but my daughter had the same type of issues for years. She was diagnosed with epilepsy for years.... Due to another issue that led to her having to be on an epilepsy monitoring unit for 5 days the true reality was she was NOT having TRUE seizures but was diagnosed with pseudoseizure..... False seizures. They look and act like true seizures but are not doing damage to the brain. Her reason for these was after 17 years at local doctors offices,specialists,etc., we took her to a bigger more specialized hospital and she has autism, specifically, aspergers. Just my thoughts hope you get something helpful outta this. Good luck
