Agreed but I have focals with impaired consciousness and generalised seizures. Some people may have focals with consciousness. The wonderful world of epilepsy is a parculiar yet interesting one. All the ways your brain can deceive you 😂

That is correct. An epileptic seizure causes increased prolactin levels in the blood and a misfire of electrical activity in the brain. That’s why you can see epileptic activity on an EEG

As to the details on Blackouts:
Blackouts are often associated with alcohol consumption. For many people, drinking too much alcohol too quickly, or on an empty stomach, can cause a blackout.

A blackout can also be caused by:

epileptic seizures
fainting
low blood pressure
psychogenic seizures
low blood sugar
certain medications
oxygen restriction

You can have a petit mal a dont even know you have have had it you can be talking to someone go into it freeze for around 30 sec or more an start talking again you dont even know that you blackout like when you watch tv you miss a bit

It might be possible that it may be a side effect from meds. I’m not fully sure.

For myself I have a little activity in the Occipital lobe ( Vision ) of the brain .
When that acts up , I have double vision, blurry vision, and blackouts.
