I think I might have had a seizure
Tue, 01/06/2015 - 02:00I'm 18 years old and I live with my parents but last night I was lying in bed and I was wide awake just playing on Facebook and all of the sudden my head started pounding and I just blacked out and I don't remember much but when I came to I was covered in drool and sweat and I couldn't move anything almost like I was paralyzed for a few minutes I kept trying to call for my mom or my dad but I was slurring my words and couldn't get them out very well, my vision was blurred and I wasn't really sure what was going on or where I was, I felt like my heart was going to beat right out of my chest and my head was pounding I missed my classes today because I was just drained, I had one of the worst headaches I've had in my life and all my muscles were sore, I felt nauseous all day, and I found myself zoning out all day.. It was like I could recognize noises and know when someone was trying to speak to me but I was unable to comprehend it. Nothing like this has have happened before but seizures run in my family so this worries me. Was it a seizure or is it something else?
