I NEED HELP!

Thu, 06/29/2006 - 10:08
I have had tonic clonics in my sleep for years. recently I was on the phone with my mom and the next thing I knew I was sorting a load of clothes!My Dr. said it was partials. I am new to the feelings of them. I had a bad night last night and was wondering if someone could tell me if you ever feel this way.... I laid down to go to sleep. I am usually out like a light with all the meds I take. I noticed I could not sleep. Then I noticed that my whole body seemed to tingle. Then I got really hot from the inside out. Then it felt like my brain was "getting bigger" or "swelling"and my head was tight. I was twitching a little bit and couldn't breathe very well. My heart was racing. My husband asked me what was wrong And I told him I had a "funny feeling", which is the only way I could explain it. Was this a or several seizures? I stll feel really nervous like today and my head hurts. Please can someoune tell me your opinions. Thank you so much.
