Symptom narrative

Shortly after getting the vaccine I started experiencing. So dizziness or feeling as if I might have some kind of sudden rush of not feeling myself. In November of 2021 I had a seizure like episode after simply standing up from an armchair to go refill my water when I suddenly lost all bodily control frozen place remain conscious but started shaking pretty significantly while not being able to move or talk. The episode went away but then I started having reoccurring instances of such. Generally attributed to sitting down laying down kneeling or squatting down or bending over too long too fast or sometimes just random. I now can catch the sensation and understand I need to slow down or stay in place holding on to something to my best stability of preventing a seizure-like episode. Prior to this I also started experiencing what was diagnosed as facial paresthesia a few months after recovering from COVID-19. At the time I was prescribed to Valium to help with the tingly numbness sensation that would randomly radiate in my face but then a new neurologist transition me to gabapentin

Lab data

The furthest I've gotten in a clinical diagnosis is orthostatic tremors with transient alteration of awareness as dye clinically referred to in reference to these seizure like episodes. I have gone through a cardio and neural workup and nothing else can explain how this symptom and seizure like episode attack suddenly came out of nowhere when I'm a relatively healthy and from a cardiovascular standpoint healthy individual.
