Seizures causing voices and hallucinations
Tue, 03/10/2015 - 15:10I don't know whether this is the right place to be but here goes. So I've been to my doctors telling him I saw things that weren't real and heard voices that weren't real. I sometimes i get these moments when I get my sentences muddled up completely and it sounds like people are talking a different language. I also zone out from around about 30 sometimes up to 5 mins. My doctor said it may be a form of epilepsy. Does anyone have any info on it? Or what it's called?

What you posted could be several different seizures. Partial, simple partial or focal seizures. so yes you need to see a neurologist oreferably one that sepcialials in epilepsy.. They will want to run an EEG which is a brain wave test. The neurologist will ask questiond and please answer them to the best of your knowledge.Something that might help is the Mt epilepsy Diary. In it there ia a note pad which you can use to note anything different that day. Like the sounds you hear or the thingss you saw. Not your mumbling. Not necessarily what you said but the fact that you mumbled. Your mood and other things. Give the neurologist permission to bring it up. It can help him by viewing the data in the diary he can come up with medications. docages and possiable procedures. Please come back and let us know how things are going.
