There is no any correlation with work stress or food as stimulating factor

No cardiovascular abnormalities
He had taken treatment from various neurologists including NIMMANS-Bangalore, but no much results, no specific diagnosis had been done ."

Since MRI and EEG are normal, it could be that he is having pseudoseizures, which are non epileptic. Pseudoseizures mostly can be related to psychological causes such as stressful events, post traumatic disorders etc. It would be beneficial to consult a psychologist, counselling and cognitive behavioral therapy might help
