Ever since I was a little girl I have been having unexplained seizures and I am not epileptic. For years I did not know I was actually having sezures I thought I was fainting until I was at work and all my co-workers witnessed one. I have spoken with an epileptic friend and my symptoms before my seizures are very different and I am hoping to figure out the cause of them. I have been to several different doctors after my attacks and they never figure out what is going on with me. Before a seizure I know it is going to happen. At first I will feel really nauseaus and I will get really hot. Sweat starts running down my face and then it starts to go black on both sides moving in until I wake up on the floor unaware of how long I have been out for or what actually happens while I am out. When I wake up I am white as a ghost and feel sick and usually I will need to sleep for a long time. I am able to stop them from happening sometimes by lying down and breathing deeply until I feel able to stand but, if I stay on my feet I can't control or stop them. Usually this would happen about once a year sometimes more and usually in the summer. Lately, it is becoming more frequent though and I am trying to figure out what is wrong with me. Can someone help me out?Oh yeah, also before my seizures I also get pins and needles on the top of my head.
