These symptoms can be both. This can be a form of localized seizure involving one part of the brain, and does not cause you to lose consciousness. This can be a side effect of phenytoin but it is rather unlikely since phenytoin aims to stabilize the nerves and prevent these types of occurrences. I suggest that you talk with your doctor regarding doing tests like EEG to pinpoint the cause and rule out if this is really a seizure episode. Regards and God bless.
