Something that you should know is that simple and complex partial seizures (also sometimes called focal seizures, or less formally "auras") like this can and do generalize into tonic-clonic (formerly: grand mal) seizures. You should definitely see a neurologist about this, ESPECIALLY if it's new and the frequency is increasing.

My wife started getting partial seizures much like during her second pregnancy and they culminated in a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. Her OB mis-diagnosed them as vasovagal syncopy, which is a very common phenomenon during pregnancy.

Based on getting a diagnosis it sounds like you've seen someone about this. Please, anyone out there who has similar symptoms, get it checked by a neurologist!
