Petit mal?

Ive had these episodes since maybe late middle school or highschool, they were infrequent and minor but lately like the past year or so theyve become a bit more intense so i thought i would get a check up (havent had one in a few years) and told my doctor who said theyre seizures. Stress can make your body do weird things. I dont freeze up, i keep moving best i can if im doing something. Ive tried to relax and ignore it, but its like if im not concentrating on what im doing ill do wierd things. I remember being at a bus stop with my friend not to long ago after walking around downtown. It was late like 11 pm or so and i was exhausted and while waiting for the bus it started happening. I honestly cant remember alot of the whole thing but i always remember the "blip" sensation. I was trying to shake it off by walking but everytime it happened i had to stop. I think i mightve walked a whole circle before i sat and i couldnt shake it no matter how hard i tried. I sometimes get a "weird feeling" like an unfamiliarity with my surroundings and strange thoughts. I saw a counselor who said i have panic disorder. I dont get the heart palpitations

Hi again, your Dr has suggested these are seizures is he referring you for further investigation/see specialist? Seems these are disturbing you. Would be worth logging your experiences so you have some hard info a consultant can get a handle on. You can roughly draw columns with headings for date, time, what you were doing before and what exactly you experienced. You seem to have identified some triggers, I wish I could, well done.Sometimes what we experience are put down to 'panic attacks' but what little I know, I think panic attacks can be terrifying, people sometimes think they are dying. I think it is interesting that you say you  get strange thoughts and a feeling of unfamiliarity, log all these.Good luck, sorry I can't check this regularly.

Hi, sorry for the late reply I just saw your comment lol. Yes he referred me to a neuro to get an eeg but I wasn't able due to insurance problems that have recently been fixed (yay! ) I've been trying to be as observant as possible during these episodes and have been learning a lot in the process. I've also been using the chat and have found a few individuals with similar experiences. I've had quite a few more episodes since I made this post and have been doing my best to log them.
