Weird seizure related episode?
Sun, 10/09/2016 - 12:34Hi, does anyone know what this could have been? I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 22 and am now days away from turning 28. I was recently at a friend's house in his garage and we were talking and everything was fine and good. Then all of the sudden I realized I was right outside of the garage and wasn't sure why. My friend told me that I had started looking all over and was still talking a little bit saying odd things and that I then walked outside. He said this lasted around 20 minutes then he asked me if I remembered what I just did and I had no clue and just had a headache afterwards. It just really scared me and has left me so confused. Thanks.
It may have been a seizure.

It may have been a seizure. There are several different seizures where people walk around and do weird things. Some have taken cloths off and walked around. Others have walked out into the street. There are several types of seizures. If I were you I would be calling my neurologist and discussing this issue with him. Oh and it might help if your friend was there because the neurologist can ask him questions and get information.
