Hope I am not crazy

I had my first seizure last Friday at my husaband's work. I was dropping off a few things and as he was walking away from my window I guess they saw me slouch over and start to shake. I now remember him closing my stepdaughter's door and starting walking away. I woke up to the medic poking my finger and asking if I knew what happened. I said yeah, I really had no idea what was going on. He proceed to tell me I had a seizure and then start asking me questions I was just making up the answer to. I was confused and lost. My husband ended up bringing me to the hospital, only problem is he didn't say what all happened and they took it as I passed out. They even asked if I was shaking and he said no. They send me home saying I just passed out. Thing have been weird lately, I don't want to sound crazy but I keep hearing noises like people talking...when they aren't. I also see things move when they are not. Today I felt like I was going to get sick a few times and I was so dizzy that I had to take a step back. My whole body kind of tingle for a few seconds. The dizziness has been going on for a while now, but today it would come and I would instantly get a dry mouth and felt like I was going to vomit. I was told to not have much stimuli or anything that I have to concentrate on until we figure what it is that is doing it. I am scared that a seizure will happen again and this time I will be driving with my stepdaughter.

I completely understand the hearing and seeing things that arent real and being aware that they aren't real... it's a shaking feeling....
