Brief confusions for 10 seconds
I have daily atleast 10 to 15 confusions briefly that lasts for 5-10 seconds. The confusion that comes suddenly with a thought that suddenly interrupts my actual thinking and confuses me when I am speaking with someone or listening from someone or writing/typing. Also a month ago for the first time I got tonic clonic seizure. Then I have taken overnight EEG and epilepsy protocol MRI. Where the MRI showed normal but EEG showed abnormal. I have attached that please see to that.

These are likely focal seizures - auras or brief impaired awareness seizures
Typical symptoms of temporal lobe seizures:
• Sudden confusion - which you probably have
• Thought interruption
• Brief staring
• Speech pause
• Déjà vu feeling
• Fear or strange thoughts
• Lip smacking
• Short blank spells
Causes might be (as MRI is normal) - Early Mesial temporal sclerosis / Temporal lobe epilepsy / Cortical dysplasia etc
Next Steps
As MRI is negative, we usually try trial of Anti epileptic drug which might lead to resolution of these symptoms.
If it doesnt subside- we need to plan for Video EEG, High resolution MRI etc

If the MRI of the brain is definitely normal, it seems like your problems might be a result of ongoing epileptic activity throughout the day. Are you on anti epilepsy medications? If not, you definitely should be on some. Please consult a local Neurologist urgently for ongoing follow up.
