sounds like something wrong with the normal brain rhythm patern (?)
it's dysrhythmia (with an i not a y)
Fits and faints in children
found it online:
A fit is an abnormal cerebral discharge - a dysrhythmia.
A seizure is a paroxysmal alteration in behaviour due to various causes.
The term convulsion is used when a child has a sudden episode of stiffening (decerebrate posturing) followed by clonic jerking.
Recurrent fits usually reflect underlying structural brain lesions or one of several specific seizure syndromes.
In “transient ischaemic attacks”, there is transient impairment of cerebral blood flow.
Transient ischaemic attacks include breath-holding attacks, "pallid" breath-holding attacks, fainting spells, cardiac arrhythmia and long QT syndrome, congenital heart block and ventricular tachycardias and migraines.
The terms “fits”, “seizures” and “convulsions” are often used interchangeably when we describe episodic abnormal movements, stiffening of the body, or disturbed consciousness. These terms are more accurately defined by Brown and O’Regan (1998) as follows:
A fit is the clinical expression of an abnormal cerebral discharge – a dysrhythmia. It may be convulsive (stiffening or jerking) or non-convulsive

First of all the correct spelling is "dysrhythmia"
Dysrhythmia means it is out or rhythm
Quite often this may be used in medical terminology, very similar to the word "arrhythmia" of the heart which indicate a heart that is beating out of rhythm

means not in rhythm. Usually refers to the heart beat. Cerebral means brain. I have never heard of cerebral dysrhythmia but probably in medical info.

Dysrhythmia means abnormal rhythm. I could find nothing in my medical dictionary regarding cerebral dysrhythmia. Try webmd.com.
