Topic: Living With Epilepsy - Adults

Hi. This has been going on for 6 months now. I cannot get anywhere with my gp. Have had 2 blood tests, 2 ecg and 24hr heart monitor. I keep having these weird episodes where my hearing goes strange, sometimes muffled, sonetimes goes completely then I get a strange warm feeling in my abdomen and legs as if I have been injected with warm water. I stay conscious throughout and remember what happens. Afterwards I often feel nauseous and disorientated. Also have difficulty sleeping. Can anyone give me any advice as to what this is? I'm scared and feel I'm going crazy!

Thanks for reply. My gp says they have done all the tests they can and can do nothing more. He thinks there is nothing wrong and it's anxiety I am suffering from but I am 43 and never had anxiety problems before. I have just basically told to get on with things or see a councillor.
