After effects of a seizure

Mine are the same ... Only occur when I am asleep - that never made sense to me, as I always thought major stress &/or lack of sleep were the major triggers.  

I will be turning 44 years old in September, & have only been having seizures for approximately the past 6 or 7 years maybe. I had been taking 1000mg. of Keppra twice per day for maybe 4 of those years or so. Anyway, my after-effects are very similar to the ones I've read here ... Severe body aches; feeling like I got hit my a semi truck ... Major headache ... Nausea ... SEVERE drowsiness, etc.  but the absolute worst possible effect that I feel after one of my seizures, is the feeling that I M being smothered.  I can't get enough air - & it literally feels like I've been buried alive & am running out of oxygen.  Of course this then increases the anxiety, so I start crying & panicking, which makes breathing that much more difficult.  It's a horrible, endless, cycle to be in. Has anybody else experienced this?  And if so, have you found anything that helps alleviate this horrifying feeling? 

I would try taking some Aleve, along soaking in a hot bath. I've found the hot water tends to help loosen the muscles a bit; at least enough to make it somewhat more bearable.  Hope this helps. Good luck Hun.
