Toddler/infant seizures

Fri, 07/21/2017 - 00:12
So I'm new to researching seizures but I just wanted to get a little more informantion on my own medical history. I'm 20 now but when I was a infant/toddler I would have random seizures where I would zone out and go into some type of seizure. Only problem is any doctor my mother took me to would run all the tests and all tests would come back inconclusive, so their diagnosis was temper tantrums. Only problem with that is, This would happen randomly, the only one I remember being at a restaurant with my family and as I was eating. I went to lay my head in my grandmothers shoulder, and I guess went into a seizure because I woke up in my fathers arms crying. I have no recollection of anything that happened during the time period in between. My mother said I grew out of it by the time I was 3 but I'm just curious now to find out what it could have possibly been and if it is something genetic that could be passed down to future children of mine.
