Have I just had a seizure?

Hi,

Feeling very confused, on sat night while out having a meal I had some sort of episode I knew something didn't feel right and told my partner I didn't feel well, that's all I remember. But I was told my body went rigid in the chair, both my eyes were open and fully dilated and my head slumped to the side, took 3 people to get me on the floor and my arms were still extended and eyes rolled back , I went white and apparently stopped breathing , I was out for 1-2 mins and woke up feeling dazed and tired for an hr or so. Mins passed and an ambulance had arrived , they took my blood pressure which was fine, my heart rate went to 40 and my blood sugar went to 3.5(low) ... Went to see my doctor who said j may just be a bit squeemish and dismissed it as not sounding like any seizure... But looking at what people have put in here and people who have relatives with it I can't see how it can be anything but?

If there's any way for you to

If there's any way for you to get an EEG I would recommend it! The only way to know for sure, I think. I hope you're okay now, it can be scary the first time. And even if it wasn't a seizure, that definitely wasn't normal. I hope you find out what happened! Take careSteph
