I recently started having what I believe to be seizures at night. They always happen while I'm lying down in bed but before I actually fall asleep. Either that or they happen after I wake up in the middle of the night. They start with a low pitch humming sound that I think is in my head that gradually gets louder and louder and a strong tingling sensation over my whole body. I then go limp and cannot move my arms or legs. I can't speak when I try to call out for help. My eyes are open the whole time it happens. Sometimes I see flashes of light, and one time I experienced a very unwarrented feeling of extreme anger during this episode, but the rest of the time I haven't experienced any strange emotions. It usually lasts for a good minute or so, and then I snap out of it and am able to move. The tingling/vibrating sensation stays with me for a few minutes after I am able to move again.
I'm 20 yrs old and I live with my parents. I haven't seen a doctor because the first few times this happened my parents dismissed it as "she was probably dreaming." It's happened 6 times in 2 months now, and I am completely sure I am awake every time it has happened
Everything I've read on my own says that usually when nocturnal seizures happen, you don't remember anything. But I'm concious the whole time and remember everything. Has this happened to anyone else??
