Seizure?
Wed, 07/26/2006 - 07:53Topic: New to Epilepsy.com
Hi All.
The other day I started to "space out". I got a sensation in my head that was like internal pressure combined with energy flowing through. After a bit it traveled to my whole body. Could still talk (just to say "I don't know"), but not sure if I could have moved my legs. After it moved to my whole body I had a few seconds where it felt like current moved in a line down each leg. In total, this may have lasted 1-2 minutes.
Was not confused after, just scared and a little disoriented.
Sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks,
Sam

Hello Sam, I can't tell you if it is some type of seizure or not. My symptonms aren't like that, but they could be symptoms of another type of seizure. I would definately talk to a doctor and the doctor will probably refer you to an neurologist that will talk to you and then more then likely send you for some test. I wouldn't wait around for another one to happen, I would call soon and talk to your doctor. Good luck. Cathy
