possible seizure

[Sunnytoday]

Do I need to seek testing? I have had several possible seizure last fall, they ranged from several seconds (were I would just stare in space and not speak) to several minutes (where I had an aura before had that felt like something washed over me and then I was seperated or a bit detached and I could not speak and afterwards had a terrible headache) and these were witnessed by my mom. After the one episode they did an EEG 48 hours later and it did not pick up anything abnormal but they wanted to do in hospital testing but we couldn't at the time. They placed me on 100 mg topamax and it seemed to control these episodes alone with getting enough sleep every night and they did not diagnose me as having seizures at that time and I haven't seen a local neurologist since.

However, at work today I had another one that was witnessed by the staff and I felt it coming and I remember laying my head on the desk and then was unable to speak for a several minutes and they said I look like I was confused and about to pass out and later when asked to write, had strange handwriting according to the doctor. Afterwards (maybe 8 or 10 minutes) everything went back to normal except for a terrible headache and I do not remember what happened.

What do you think I should seek for further testing?
thank you for your thought on this matter.
