Questions About Possible Seizures Posted: 10-12-05 21:36pm
I recently have had these tow experiences
and am wondering if they are epileptic in
nature.
One: while driving to work I suddenly
felt like everything in my body stopped.
It was quiet and calm as I pulled my car
over. I don't remember breathing or a
hearbeat, but it was so calm and painless
I was confused. There was also a
metallic tast I noticed that seemed to run
down my throat.
Two: last night, while starting to drive
through a parking lot, everything turned
gray/black and I noticed wind blowing on
my left side. The doors were close and
the windows were closed at it was cold
last night. I then noticed the same
feelings as above and the metallic
taste.
I have not gone to a doctor as I am
scared, but I will go soon. This events
were about two months apart. Please let
me know what you think it could be.
Thank you.

Is anyone going to take a shot at this?
I really would like some input.
Thanks.

Hello,
i'm not entirely sure. I remember that
when I had my first seizure, i, too, felt
as if everything in my body had stopped
for a moment -- I don't know if that was
my mind playing a trick on me, or what.
And keep in mind that my first seizure was
a long, long time ago, and therefore my
memory has grown weak.
But I am learning that people can
experience a wide variety of things when
they seizure, and a lot of their
experiences have differed from mine. This
said, it -might- be a possibility they are
epileptic in nature. Still, it would be
best to obviously get checked. Even
though i've had epilepsy, i'm no expert!
Sometimes the most difficult things to
explain/put your finger on, are the things
that happen to your own body.

Hi there,
i always experience a feeling of being
removed from my body inputs, kinda like
i'm there but i'm also not. Things feel,
sound and appear strange, almost
unfamilliar.
It's very difficult to explain because it
always (for me) happens right before I
lose consciousness and convulse.
I usually only recall this strange feeling
long after I wake up.
Definately get yourself checked asap.
Especially if you experienced this while
driving.

I am new here but you sound like me... I
had episodes that left me guessing for so
long. It sounds like you should see the
doctor especially since you were driving
and since the 2 episodes had so much in
common. I understand why you are scared
to though; I was too... I am recent to dx
though I have had seizures for a while.
I hope the doctor can help you figure out
what is going on.
