It is important the time it occurs.
your sx's., how long it lasts
I have had sz's a long time and my family ignores them unless they are dramatic. You are your own keeper at times.
Pat yourself on your back! You are a super person!
You do not always get a migraine after a partial-complex seizure. It varies from patient to patient!
I have had 3 surgeries. I also have a VNS.

It sounds like you probably were experiencing seizures. Make sure to write down everything you want to discuss with your neurologist. Include the experiences with your G.P. and E.R. Anxiety can often can be a trigger for seizures. Migraines are often the type of headaches experienced following a seizure. Include all medications you take whether over-the-counter or Rx. List all vitamins and suppliments. Hopefully, your neurologist will find the right AED to take so you can feel normal again. Best wishes!
