What type of seizure am i having?

Thu, 05/05/2016 - 22:19
I've had quite a few seizures that last only a couple seconds where I jerk and hit the floor. when I was in highschool I was sitting at a computer and started jerking and fell to the ground. Ive had Grand Mal seizures but these last less than 5 seconds and aren't as bad as a grand mal. I get a weird almost dizzy and weak feeling when it happens. Anyone know what type of seizure i'm having?
