This is the symptom I have been describing to my GPS, neurosurgeon & neurologist but none of them have said it can be a seizure. I felt like this a full of headaches so after a year they finally let me have an MRI where something called a AVM was found in my brain. I had a crainotomy to remove it in March. I am now in a high risk group for epilepsy but not on any meds.
