Weird seizures? Please help.
Wed, 01/07/2015 - 02:28I'm a college student who had full seizures as a child, but my epilepsy went away. Recently, I've been diagnosed with migraines but I've also had weird symptoms that my doctor thinks may be seizures. I have an appointment with a nuerologist but I was wondering if anyone else experienced these symptoms?
I'll feel severe deja vu, and then I'll start laughing and feeling scared. Then, my eyes will turn upwards and everything will go blurry, and I get what feels like a chill in my head and neck. It kind of "ticks" to the side. The part that freaks me out the most is that my mouth will open really wide, it is like my jaw is trying to dislocate, and my tongue comes out of my mouth. I usually drool, as well. It only lasts for maybe 60 seconds and then I feel like I've been cracked in the head with a baseball bat. The headache that follows can last a very long time. It is all very bizzare.
