Confused and asking for opinions.

I am 30yr old female. It started around Halloween. I was very lightheaded and did not have center balance. I was trying to get ready for work and ended up falling backwards luckily my bf caught me. Few days later no forewarning I ended up falling forward and caught myself on a wall. Next week I was getting up and walking already not feeling well at all and feel forward was caught again. I have had a few other"episodes" were I will be from lightheaded to extremely lightheaded for his before the fall of I even fall at all. It takes hours for me to feel like my tag Regular self, sometimes the while day. I am conscience even during the falls. This last fall happened today and my legs had a hard time walking to the car I also seem to lose depth perception get hypersensitivity and confusion/distain because things just don't make sense and I have a harder time heading people talk. Just looking for advice. My PCP thinks it's anxiety while my sleep doc thinks it's narcolepsy​. I think it's seizures but unsure.
