I agree with your fiancee that you should see a doctor. However, do keep a diary of when it happens- date and time of day, duration: 15-45min, symptoms (do you know that it is about to happen) what happens each time and if anyone close to you witnesses, it let them make a note of what they observe. Write about what you were doing just before- if you were walking outside, talking to someone, what you ate that day to identify if there are triggers. Also how much sleep and quality of sleep you are getting. Describe in as much detail the images/ thoughts you are having/ hearing and what you are not able to do afterwards e.g. move your hands. The doctors will need to know how often it happens and whether you lose consciousness etc. I do think if it has been going on for more that 2 weeks though that you should go to A&E or at least make the appointment as you at times have to wait for the next available appointment.
