Nocturnal Seizures?
Tue, 07/05/2016 - 22:23Topic: Men With Epilepsy
My name is David and as a child as young as days old I was diagnosed with eplipsey and seizure disorder, according to the doctor's I had some type of "brain damage" they placed me on medication such as fenorbarbetal, aumentin, depicode, and many others throughout the years. At age 18 a team of neurologist decided to take me off nuerontins to see if I would have any further seizures, which thankfully I believe I haven't had. Know I'm 28 years old and during the last 8 years I've been in alot of stress. For the past few months I've been having these "nightmares", and the nightmares consist of dreams of me fighting with ghost or dead people. While the dream is going on i shake a bit and usually scream or try to scream out loud. My wife usually wakes me up from these dreams. When I wake up in the morning my lips and inner mouth have this thick saliva which is very sticky and goiey. My question is can i be suffering from seizures again?Possibly nocturnal ones? If anyone is familiar with this can you please help me.
Thanks,
