Having Brain Seizures ? Help ? Posted: 08-26-07 21:53pm
I don't know if I am having seizures or
not. If I were to think of what a seizure
would feel like, then what I experience
seems like it would be it. I am 19, and
have been having what I call my "brain
shocks" for a while. I remember having
them at 15-16, but I didn't pay attention
to any time before then. What I am so
confused about, is that I don't do the
whole 'fall on the ground' or convulse, or
do anything obvious. I know before I have
a "brain shock", I feel a little
lightheaded. Then a buzzing-you could call
it-begins in my brain. Sometimes they are
light, sometimes more severe, but I never
lose consciousness. I feel my eyes move
though, I don't know where, but they're
going somewhere! Once, I had a
severe one, and I stood there as it hit
me. One of my friends was talking to me,
and I held up my arm with my pointer
finger up, telling her to wait. I just
stared at the ground, I couldn't really
move, or talk or anything. I could hear,
but it was like I wasn't in control. Then
it faded. I don't know if I am just having
weird brain things, or what, but my
grandma that used to be a nurse thinks I
am having petit mal seizures or something,
but I can't find anyone that knows what a
seizure feels like when they are having it
so that I could compare the feelings. I
also get a lot of headaches and
migraines...
Can anyone help me? Does this sound like
any form of epilepsy-or am i just crazy?
Thank you!
