Default new to site and new to having seizure activity

Hello I'm new to the site. First of all I do have to mention I do have an arachnoid cyst located on my left temporal lobe that I've had since birth and was found on accident in 2001 due to a car accident. I had my first what the doctors called simple seizure at the end of April. It happen while I was driving to work, it seem like every thing in my vision almost went white and I was in a movie and I couldn't move really and only lasted about 30 seconds, it had scared me enough to the point where I had to pull my car over to the side of the road because I wasn't sure of what was going on then. On that same day at work about 3 or 4 hours later it happened again, this time I got lightheaded with it which lasted a good hour or so nothing happen after that so I figured it had to do with the fact that it had to do with low blood sugar. After telling some boyfriends family members about what happened and the fact that I have the cyst on my brain they wanted me to go get check out by a doctor, that night I went to the small local er where they did a CT scan and said that it did sound like that I had a simple seizure and that it was probably just a one in a lifetime type of deal and nothing to worry about and sent me on my way. That seem fine at the time as it seem I wasn't getting any more of the seizures for about four more days then I got another one, so I went to a bigger hospital so I could figure out what was going. After spending a few hours in the hospital getting a MRI and blood test done the doctors where confused on why all the sudden I'm having these seizures. Since then I've been referred to a neurologist that specializes in seizures and got a 24 hour EEG done and another MRI done which was about 2 weeks ago still waiting on results been trying to contact the neurologist but with no answer yet. Should I be worried that the doctor could be just ignoring me or really busy. I'm getting very antsy on not knowing on what or why I'm getting them did any one else have to wait almost 3 weeks for EEG results just to know whats going on with them
