The blackouts themselves could be petit mal seizures. There is more than one type of seizure, ranging from full-blown grand mal seizures where you're on the ground shaking to staring off into space, but nobody's home, to just a limb shaking. I have both of the first two. Even when I have a grand mal, I don't know it if I'm alone, except that I feel tired and cold. Of course if I'm in public because I usually wake up on the floor with a ring of scared faced around me. But with the petit mal (aka temporal lobe) seizures, someone could be standing nearby and not notice, because I just look like I've stopped concentrating on things, and I feel sick to my stomach. Also, the seizures may not show up on the EEG. Sometimes the scar tissue that causes it doesn't look any different than that in any other part of your brain, and everybody has some. I wowed them one time by having a temporal lobe seizure while I was having an MRI! Not necessarily. The blackouts themselves could be petit mal seizures.

Absent, or petit mal, seizures may result in the patient "blacking out" or having periods of "absence", hence the name.

A small seizure can be unnoticeable to everyone and detectable only by diagnostic equipment. Best of luck to you. No, people who have seizures have little/no awareness of the event.

With petite mal seizures you may just stare into space unresponsively, or an isolated muscle or body part my seize. I've heard it's like being asleep. Grand mal seizures are the ones where you convulse, and sometimes void your bowels. So yes, if it was a petite mal seizure you can not only have them and not know, but people around you may also not notice.

It is sort of like going to sleep. You have no idea of what happens when you are sleeping. However, what is worse, you will not feel the seizure coming on or finishing. Your brain goes from one thought, and then continues on, with you unaware there is a gap. Some of these can be really short - a few seconds, or a few minutes. To others, you will just seem quiet for a bit, and then carrying on. People may well have missed it. If you have a seizure, especially a mini one, you will not know.
