Did I have a seizure?
Sun, 03/27/2011 - 01:38Topic: Teen Zone
Hi, uhm well I'm kind of wondering whether or not I'm having seizures..... at times my vision blurs and I get extremely dizzy, as if I'm about to pass out and my mother says my eyes roll back and I start to shake like I am cold...Then today at extreme thing I was in the crowd listening to a band when my vision blurred and everything went white, my body felt really heavy, and my friend said I just collapsed and she pulled me out of the crowd and that I started shaking really bad....she said that a guy picked me up and ran me to the paramedics but he tripped and ended up dropping me..(no I'm not heavy i weigh 90 pounds)...and that when my head hit the ground I went into full blown convulsions... After the convusions stopped, I didn't know where I was and I was extremely confused my head was killing me and I was really tired. I'm not 100% sure if this is what happend because I dont remember anything...

Well, as my recent EEG tech told me "A seizure can be anything"
I have seizures sometimes that look like panic attacks. And I've heard of other people having seizures that are just an intense feeling of fear for no reason, and that's it, that's the whole seizure.
I am not going to say what you are feeling is a seizure, but if you have people saying that you were convulsing, you need to go to a doctor ASAP. Tell him/her your situation and what you are experiencing and he/she may order you an EEG. If the EEG comes up abnormal then you will most likely get an MRI.
I would go to the doctor as soon as you can, those things aren't normal to experience regardless if they are seizures or not.
