Hi lilchrissy,

You can see a neurologist to find out if you are having sz. but later on you might want to see an Epileptologist, this type of Dr. specializes in epilepsy and has more education in the field of epilepsy and can help people with epilepsy much better than any neurologist I've ever seen in the past 40 yrs. that I've had epilepsy.
To find a pattern in your sz. get a calendar and write down what time you have a sz. along with a discription of the sz. Also be sure to take note if you are sick, or there's a low pressure in the weather, or if your hormones are changing (ex. monthly cycle) it's some of these things that can trigger sz. for a person. By keeping track of the sz. like this your Dr. may be able to see a pattern in your sz. I always have 1 week each month where I will have a bunch of sz. and then the rest of the month I'm doing pretty good.
Things that can cause epilepsy are the following:
head injury, trauma, difficulty at birth, lack of oxygen, drug or alcohol abuse, genetics or post tramatic stress.
I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Sue
