Hi, I'm a nearly 20 year old college student, and I've been dealing with this issue since mid-to-late 2017. I honestly can't remember the first day it happened; probably because now I've gotten too used to it. Since near the end of 2017, I've been dealing with this weird sensation in my body. My eyes would cross, my right arm would feel tense, my right side of my face would feel weird, and overall, I described the feeling as numbness. Then it progressed to my toes curling, and if i remember correctly, my right hand tensing up and curling inwards. This reaction or whatever would happen nearly every time I stood up or would walk a maybe 20 feet after standing up. Then it stopped for a while. Then early 2018, it came back. All through 2018 I dealt with this. Eyes crossing, hard time trying to keep my hand from tensing up and prevent my arm from flailing in front of me. The straightening or flailing of my arm felt instinct, but now I can't remember if I do it to shake off the tense feeling. It's now 2019, and now, my left hand tenses up sometimes when I have this sort of episode. It only lasts about 5 seconds max. There's been a few times where only my hand would tense up and fingers curl inwards for a second. I forgot to mention that I think my jaw tenses up as well. I've tried talking in private when I had an episode, and I don't think I sounded coherent. As for respiratory, I honestly don't know if my breathing gets ragged during this or not. It's all kind of a blur, as I get so focused on this tense, numb(?) sensation. I've already speculated that it could (or is) some type of seizure. Can anyone give me a more clear understanding? I have terrible social anxiety, and I always think the worst every time I think of going to a doctor.

Extra information:
Mid-to-end of 2017 was the beginning of my senior year. I started to get headaches that became incredibly frequent towards the end of my senior year (April - May 2018, I believe). It was also the time I realized I was having migraines as I had never had a migraine or a headache that bad before.
I am not an athlete, and I've begun to work out maybe 6 months ago. I am not overweight.
Nearly my entire life I've dealt with and/or been dealing with a nutrition intake issue, due to lack of appetite and pickiness. Lately, my appetite has been coming back (probably because of college), and I'm eating more often. I never had anorexia nervosa.
