What is the worst that can happen if I decide not to get this treated, though surgery or medication? I just keep having the episodes? Will there be futher damage to my brain if I just left it alone?

I'm not a neurological doctor so I can't be certain, but yes, I'm pretty sure you will keep having the episodes and I think your brain may be further damaged if you ignore it. Why do you want to leave it alone anyway?

Are you a danger to yourself when it happens? I'm undiagosed with some sort of seizure disorder but it triggers mostly at night and I can control it to a degree.
