Confused

Tue, 01/17/2017 - 01:40
Hi, I am a 23 year old female and I recently discovered my deja vu/confusion/anxiety/nausea/dizziness episodes to be auras. They have happened for about 5-6 years, very sporadically. I never thought much of them until recently, and I decided to see a doctor. MRI and EEG came back normal. However since then (about 2 months ago), they have increased in intensity and frequency. Recently, I passed out after a rather strong aura, in fact after I was getting blood drawn for testing. Is this simple partial seizures? Is this a (mild?) form of epilepsy? Is it hormone-related? So far, all blood work has come back average.

I was having all the same symptoms you were. Did the MRI/EEG / Bloowwork all fine. Last week I went in to the hospital for. 4 day EEG that confirmed that I am suffering from partial complex seizures. Sometimes they  I need a little more time on the EEG the actual catch what's going on
