was this a seizure?
Sat, 05/26/2007 - 15:20It doesn't happen to me anymore but when it did I wondered if it was a seizure or not. I would be standing at the kitchen counter, talking to my sister and all of a sudden I would start to lean back with no intention of doing so. I wouldn't fall because I had enough time to grab onto the bottom and hang on until the dizziness passed. I could still talk to my sister, she could understand me and all but I was so dizzy that I had to wait for it to pass until I could let go.

I described similiar intense dizziness to my neuro where I felt like I was going to faint but I don't and she seemed to agree with the above that it was a partial.
