I really need help, I can't figure out what is wrong with me. I'm afraid to tell my mom about this cause I'm afraid she won't believe me. But anyway, this has been happening for a very long time, and my mom even recalls me have seizure when I was a baby (feveral seizures I think) anyway this happened just last night, I was up till about 12:00 tring to fall asleep, but can't because I constantly have been having racing heart beats and sudden jults through my body, and I remember all of it. But some how I manage to calm down and then wake up in the morning thinking... thank god! I made it through that horrible night, but I don't remember falling asleep, or I mean like even how... when ever I hear the word seizure I freek out! And my heart races, I don't know what it is but it is horrible! Or when ever I watch TV for along time or go to the movies, I feel the same, start getting shaky, fingernails are turning purple, scared.... I don't know what is wrong with me, for some reason this has been connected to me for as long as I can remember... :(
Or... this is the worst, at basketball games, I'll get so shaky near the end when I am running, and I'll start to get the goose bumps (even know a second ago I was hot and sweaty) and I'll almost start crying.... but when it is over with and I get a chance to calm down, all the symptoms go away and I am relieved!!! But even typing this is making me shaky so I'd better stop... but please... I NEED HELP! Give me some tips or something! please, or if anyof you have experienced this, REPLY AND TELL ME! PLEASE I NEED TO KNOW!

My daughter has had epilesy from birth and I have watched her turn blue. She still will turn blue and can barely breathe during some of her seizures, she'll vomit and choke sometimes. This has been happening from her first day of life.
