Q: Epilepsy Or Bad Panic Attack?

I have had panic attacks from the age of 17 approx, and I am now very good at coping with these should they occur. I realize the importance of breathing and calming and reassuring myself. This really hasnt been a problem with me. However, more recently I have been having moments that last up to approx 10 mins where I get a wave over my head that makes my brain feel like its freezing and I feel very disorientated and weepy. I find it very difficult to concentrate and as a result am sleeping and very tired all the time. When this is happening I know where I am, but if im talking to someone I dont really know what im talking about, but the other person seems unaware that this is going on inside my head at that time. Its a very disturbing feeling and is not like a panic attack that I have ever had. I was afraid that it might be a slight form of epilespy. Numerous doctors and hospital appointments have not concluded any sort of diagnosis.

Has anyone else ever felt like this?
