Emily, Your doctor would need to do EEG on you to see if they are epileptic seizures or non. They are basicly the same and are hard to tell unless you are tested. They can see the brain waves are different. http://www.epilepsynse.org.uk/pages/info/leaflets/factsnea.cfm Take care Lisa http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/epilepsyapproach/
