What is happening..
Fri, 06/27/2014 - 21:09Hi everyone, my name is Natalie and I'm sixteen. Iv never had seizures before an we really have no idea of what's happening to me is siezures. This past Wednesday I was in a room with loud music and really strong lights with about 200 people. About an hour before I had a really bad headache and any kind of sound hurt. We were all standing and while the lights and music were going and I felt dizzy then suddenly I fell ( I didn't hit anything) I lost about five seconds and I was twitching and moving a And there we two nurses there and tey both work in the icu an er in our local hospital and they both said it look like I was having a mild seizure. But I was completely aware during those five minutes but I couldn't move my body only eyes. Then I had another one but there were no symptoms it just happened this time the twitching wasn't as bad but I couldn't breath and was panicking and this time I wasn't as aware. People there also said that it was like I was falling asleep and I did remeber it feeling like I was falling asleep. Please help me I really would like to know what is happening!!!

Many of the things you posted are in different seizures. You might not know it because you have only heard or read about certain seizures like grand mal which most people think is the only type of seizure when there are 40+ different seizures. The nurses were right when they told you it looked like they both said it look like I was having a mild seizure. To be certain you need to see your doctor or a neurologist and tell him what happened and what the nurses said. as far as no symptoms if you don't know all the different types of seizures you have no idea what those symptoms. I hope you get the more information and get the assistance you need
