Feeling out of control
Mon, 10/06/2014 - 11:28Hello!
i have been dwelling these forums for a few weeks- since my neurologist wrote down a preliminary diagnosis of epilepsy (i looked up his medical codes). I went in for headaches (severe, everyday with auras all day, loss of balanc, loss of muscle control, etc.)
This morning I had an experience that I not sure if it was a seizure. 10 minutes after wakig- i began having a bad headache with nausea and auras. I got ready, then about 40 monutes later walked out of the house with my son... On the way out, I smelled something gross, continued walking, bevame very dizzy, and my headache became very severe. I made it to the car, put my son in- and the dizziness began to subside over the next 5 minutes. With in 30 minutes- my headache began to subside.
an hour after the onset, I am just left with a dull pounding sensation in my head. Is it possible this was a seizure?
thank you!
