Hello. I'm 14, this is my first post on
the forum. Last night I either fainted or
has a seizure. I'm not sure exactly what
it was, so i'll post what happened.
It was 11:55, and I was standing in front
of the mirror, i'd just used the mouthwash
and was putting was on the back bracket of
my brace because it was digging into my
lip. Then, I started to get dizzy but I
thought it was a usual dizzy spell, you
know when you start to get dizzy but it
goes away after a couple of seconds.
So anyway, I ignored it then the next
thing I know everythings gradually going
black and i've started shaking really
badly. Twitching back and forth quickly.
Then I started to fall over, bashed my
chin on the sink, and my head on the door.
It took me about 20 seconds to hit the
floor.
Then I was just sat there. I wasn't sure
if i'd actually fallen over or wether i'd
sat down to stop being dizzy and just
dreamed it. But I stood up and saw I had
blood running down my chin.
My mum says I probably was just tired (but
I usually go to sleep later than that) or
hadn't eaten enough (braces make it hard
to eat, but I guess i'm eating enough
though) or accidently stopped breathing
and didn't realise it.
I'm confused as to what happened, if I
fainted or wether I had a seizure. Also,
i'm not sure what caused it. If anyone
has any information i'd be very grateful
to hear from you.

Ok I have had epilepsy all my life and if
you just fell like that does not sound
right. A lot of people get warnings or
feelings of it coming on. A taste in
there mouth etc. I have a friend that had
something just like you said and she now
has anxiety attacks and also not eatting
right can cause all that you have to get
checked out for that. Limeridge

Thanks for the reply. I've had a look at
information on anxiety attacks but I can't
find anything on seizures like this. Does
anyone have any links?
