Myoclonic seizure patients don't usually lose consciousness.
Remember seizures are a n extremely individualized condition. You also mentioned TIA’s which are often hard to differentiate from focal seizures however my thinking since he does have A-fib seizures are unlikely. But who knows for sure. even if he were to have a normal electroencephalograph it’s still wouldn’t give you a definitive answer. Many patients who have normal EEG’s have frequent seizures. Strokes are the leading cause of epilepsy in older people but most often from hemorrhagic strokes versus embolic strokes like your husband had, if I understand correctly.
But stress, anxiety, coming off certain medications, neuropathy can also cause the activity you describe. Also caffeine especially in large quantities. When something isn’t just right in the brain can act erratic and do all sorts of bizarre things.
Take care,

Thank you so much fir responding! I did go to the site and read about the Myoclonic Seizure and all the others! Unfortunately, it really does not really sound like what he experiences. The feeling of Electrical bolts of lightning pulsing thru his body but usually not painful just weird. He never feels like he will lose consciousness and never has. Pretty constant electrical charge going on. He thinks I should be able to feel it but I can not! Very bizarre!! No one has discussed anything like that! The Neurologist told him to just see the PT person and get very active!! He does stay active! Thanks again!! Perplexed!
