Dizziness

Fri, 06/09/2006 - 11:49
Hi, I had a 'thing' happen to me in April, most incidents seem to happen at night/sleep. Since then my doc did a 24 hr EEG, I get the results Tuesday. The night I had the EEG I woke feeling dizzy (room spinning) and a weird feeling in my stomach. Not gas or sick, just a weird feeling. I dont want to say pain b/c I can't say it hurt. It went away. Wed night I was watching TV, same thing happened, this time i felt stuck and my mouth watered. This happened for a very very short period of time, way less than a minute. Last night I awoke and my eyes were moving uncontrollably, I was shaking. It was a short episode, but this is similar to what made me wonder what was happening in the 1st place. This time I can't really remember much. What was shaking? How my eyes were moving? I just know they were. I do remember again I felt like I couldn't control it..I felt confused and sorta out of it. What is going on?!

Wich I could help other than to say that I have had that happen to me on a number of occassions. My mouth has never watered but the rest has happenned to me. Almost like someone turned a jackhammer on inside my head. Mine also tends to go on for a quite a while. I see an epileptologist on July 3rd. Hopefully he can give me some answers. Hopefully se can both get some answers.
