Having seizures?
Wed, 08/03/2016 - 23:05Topic: New to Epilepsy.com
Hi everyone.
I think that I may have had a seizure tonight but I have never been diagnosed with epilepsy so I am unsure. Lately I have had random very strong senses of deja vu. Not in the sense of "oh this seems familiar," but a weird feeling that I was remembering what was happening while it was happening. I quickly felt very dissociated and I think that I lost a few minutes where I was just sitting there but I am unsure.
This prompted me to look into epilepsy online and I am identifying with a lot of other symptoms. Lately I have had experiences like this and I have also have been experiencing kaleidoscope vision, loud ringing in the ears, and random confusion that lasted for two to three minutes. I will also randomly have a memory that seems much stronger than just thinking about the past. I do not remember if they happen at the same time - I never thought any of this was related until now.
Could this be epilepsy?
