Could I be having partial seizures?

Thu, 03/12/2015 - 12:34

Hi, I wondered whether anyone else has had similar experiences. For the past 2-3 weeks, I have been zoning out, for example I could be doing something, then just zone out, I dont lose conciseness but I feel like im not in my body. My eyes go blurry, I feel like I am twitching and my head feels like it is spinning. This happens several times each day and varies from a few seconds to a couple of minutes. After, I start shivering and come over freezing cold. Sometimes I am freezing but my face will go bright red and boiling hot. Then for a while after I am very spacey and tired. Could I be having partial seizures? Thank you :)

They could be seizures. In my focal seizures I knew what was happening I saw, heard and understood what was happening. I answered questions. At times my right hand would twitch. After them I would be tired because of the energy used in the seizure. I don't mean the energy used while running or working I mean the electrical energy in your brain.You need to see a neurologist
