Scared I'm Following in Mother's Footsteps

Hi, My mom started having seizures when I was a child around 8 or 9 and she was in her early 30s. Medication never seemed to help her much and she died from breaking her neck during a seizure when she was 39. I am now 28 and had a very concerning experience last night. I was on my right side, in a state between sleeping and being awake and woke with panic over my face being paralyzed. The paralysis lasted a few seconds. This has happened a few times before and I'd always written it off as normal and possibly from stress/anxiety. Last night however was slightly different because I also observed that I was shaking. It wasn't violent but my whole body was shaking. When I awoke today my left arm was sore. I'm really scared this was a small seizure and I'm terrified of having more and living the life my mom lived. I can try and justify the symptoms -- shaking because the window was open and I was cold, altho before going to sleep there wasn't much of a breeze in the room. The facial paralysis from stress and the sore arm from sleeping in an uncomfortable position. I'm wondering if I should go to a doctor. Is there a way they can tell definitively if I had a seizure with tests? Any thoughts on what happened would be really appreciated. Thanks so much.
