Simple partials? Very scared of symptoms

Sun, 11/22/2015 - 11:40

hello everyone - ive been struggling with odd symptoms for a year and a half and have just started developing another scary symptom which to me feels like it could be seizure related. 
for the last year and a half i have been having waves that go through my head, shocks in my head, shocks that go through my ears, hearing fluctuations, ringing in the ears, and just odd feelings in head in general. I have seen multiple neurologists, had mri, eeg, mra, emg, and been through the gamut of psychological drugs since they all say its psychological - nothing is helping.
the past few weeks including this morning something else has started happening - it will be around 6 am and trying to dose back off to sleep and i will suddenly while half asleep (going into sleep) get electic shocks all over my body, a loud pulsing noise getting louder and louder in my head and the feeling like i have to fight to get out of this state. It is really scary and is freaking me out. Does this sound like seizure activity? Also, yesterday i had the same sort of thing but i was dreaming i was passing out and actually felt the dizziness and woke up dizzy. Does anyone have anything familiar and could you help me out? these things have been happening for way too long. thank you
