Is this what you feel before a seizure?

Wed, 03/01/2017 - 11:12
Hello, I havent been diagnosed yet with epilepsy, but ever since I was 18 I have been getting a seizure a year I had tests done and they never found anything but I am taking one pill at night against it. This year I already got a seizure on january I remember feeling very dizzy and like my brain was being pressed very hard and just scared very scared all over. Last night I had half a beer and I was having a serious conversation with my boyfriend about brraking up when suddenly I felt very peacefull and numb no sadness or stress then I felt my brain being like pressed like someone grabbing my brain and pressing it with the same dizzines and feelings of throwing up but this time I did not get a seizure so I want to know if thats what you feel because I want to learn to identify it and do you think if the anxious moment I was having and beer had anything to do with it? Thankyou.
